Don’t forget about packaging in national food waste reduction strategy, trade groups say
Packaging groups are telling federal agencies fighting food waste to embrace packaging technology as a more prominent solution in a national strategy.
The U.S. EPA, Department of Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration in December announced the Draft National Strategy for Reducing Food Loss and Waste and Recycling Organics. It’s meant to be a “whole-of-government” approach toward a joint goal of halving food loss and waste by 2030, against a 2010 baseline. It also aims to increase organics recycling. Implementation would begin this year.
