EPA WEBINAR SERIES:

Reduction Food Waste Reduction & Management

 

Food waste is the third largest stream of waste in the U.S. after paper
and yard waste. The social, economic, and environmental impacts of food
waste are enormous, including increased generation of greenhouse gas,
negative impacts on sanitation and health, and the loss of potential
improvements in soil health and food production.

 

To help address these impacts, EPA Region 2 is partnering with the New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Solid Waste
Resource Renewal Group at Rutgers University to offer a series of
webinars designed to provide education on the best avenues and methods
of food waste management. Generators of food waste, government
representatives, and public stakeholders are encouraged to participate.

Waste Audits
