Stop Food Waste Day: Possibly A Surprising Perspective from Bio Collectors It might seem counterintuitive—why would a company dedicated to processing and collecting food waste advocate for reducing it? Even though we specialise in anaerobic digestion (AD) and food waste collection, our ultimate goal is a sustainable future, which starts with reducing waste. In the UK, a staggering 6.4 million tonnes of food are thrown away each year, with 60-70% of this waste coming from our homes. The capacity of the UK market to process this waste through AD is simply not enough to handle the volume. The waste hierarchy—reduce, reuse, recycle—guides us for a reason. We must prioritise reducing our waste wherever possible. When excess remains, redistribution to those in need is a crucial next step. Only after these avenues have been exhausted should recycling through AD come into play. At Bio Collectors, we’re proud of our role in recycling what remains into energy and bio fertiliser. But let's remember, every bit of food waste prevented is a step towards a healthier planet. This Stop Food Waste Day, let's commit to cutting down our waste footprint. Together, we can make a difference! To see what we do watch the video below! ♻️💚 Let’s cherish our resources, redistribute excess, and recycle what’s left with the best processes available. #StopFoodWasteDay #Sustainability #WasteNotWantNot #BioCollectors

ReFED's latest report on food waste is a critical eye-opener, revealing that food waste contributes to 14% of methane emissions in the U.S. This alarming statistic underscores the urgent need for sustainable solutions such as centralized composting and consumer education. 🍽️💡 Personally, I've noticed the impact of food waste when trying to efficiently manage grocery shopping. It made me realize the sheer volume of potential methane emissions every time leftovers hit the trash instead of being composted. By changing small habits, like portion resizing and choosing sustainable disposal methods, we can each play a part in this global challenge. The U.S. is committed to slicing these emissions by 30% by 2030. But it's not just about pledges—it's about action. Let's discuss: what simple changes can you make in your routine to reduce food waste? 🌍 Let's work towards a sustainable future! #FoodWaste #MethaneEmissions #Sustainability #ZeroWaste #EnvironmentalChange Engage with me: Have you tried any innovative solutions at home or in the workplace to tackle food waste?

Addressing Food Waste: A Sustainable Solution Today, I want to shine a spotlight on a pressing issue: food waste. Did you know that approximately one-third of all food produced globally is lost or wasted each year? This not only impacts food security but also contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation. As someone passionate about sustainable development, I believe we can tackle this challenge through innovative solutions. One approach is to promote food waste reduction initiatives at every level of the supply chain. This includes raising awareness among consumers about mindful consumption habits, supporting farmers with efficient harvesting and storage practices, and collaborating with retailers to minimize surplus food. Additionally, we can harness technology to develop smart systems for food redistribution and recycling. By connecting surplus food with communities in need or converting food waste into compost and bioenergy, we can create circular economies that benefit both people and the planet. I am committed to driving change in this area and exploring partnerships that prioritize sustainable practices. Together, we can turn the tide on food waste and build a more resilient and equitable future for all. Let's collaborate and innovate towards sustainable solutions! #SustainableDevelopment #FoodWaste #EnvironmentalImpact #Innovation #LinkedInNetworking

🌱 Turning Food Waste into Opportunity – 13 Years of Green Good 🌍 GREENGOOD ECO-TECH has been at the forefront of sustainability for over a decade, helping reduce food waste one composter at a time. As we approach the 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗟𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲, which will be observed on September 27, we reaffirm our dedication to the United Nations' SDG 12.3, which aims to halve food waste globally by 2030. 👉 According to UN SDG 12.3, the goal is to halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels by 2030.  Yet, 1.05 billion tons of food are wasted yearly, contributing to nearly 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. ♻ Food waste doesn't belong in landfills; it needs to turn to soil, nourishing our planet and closing the loop. Our commitment remains the same: to raise awareness, provide solutions, and create a world where food waste is seen as a resource, not a burden. Join us in supporting SDG 12.3 by making a change, starting in your kitchen! 🍀 By composting, you are doing good every day.

Campuses, office parks, and large-scale facilities generate significant amounts of food waste that often end up in landfills, and as this food rots, it releases harmful methane, a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Harp Renewables’ waterless food waste recyclers offer a circular solution, processing up to 3,000 pounds of food waste daily into nutrient-rich fertilizer. This cuts emissions, reduces waste disposal costs, and improves on-site hygiene. Large facilities and campuses can play a crucial role in reducing food waste and creating valuable resources by adopting these efficient food waste recycling systems.

In today’s world, managing food waste isn’t just a checkbox for sustainability - it’s an operational challenge with real impact on costs, compliance, and brand integrity. Many businesses are dealing with mountains of food waste and may not realize the silent burdens it creates daily. Think about storage costs: how much valuable space is tied up with waste that’s waiting to be hauled away? Then there’s the expense and environmental toll of transportation itself, not to mention rising landfill costs that can cut into margins. For many businesses, regulatory compliance has become a juggling act, especially as governments push for more sustainable waste management solutions. Non-compliance isn’t just a slap on the wrist; it’s potential fines, negative publicity, and damage to public perception. And what about the missed opportunities? By sending food waste straight to landfill, businesses might be missing out on the potential to turn that waste into something beneficial—something that not only reduces their carbon footprint but could actually enhance their own operations, like improving soil health on their grounds or supporting local ecosystems. It's time for leaders to start asking: Is there a way to turn these costs into a benefit? Can food waste be a resource rather than a liability? Can we be the change! These questions lead them to systems that are built not just for waste reduction but for meaningful environmental impact. The journey starts with recognising the hidden costs—financial and ethical—of current waste practices and exploring how an innovative approach can turn the problem of food waste into a powerful, positive change for both the business and the environment. #FoodWaste #FoodRecycling #Sustainability
