Every year, one-third of the world’s total food supply is wasted or lost. And, 97% of this waste is directed to landfills and incinerators that contribute to the production of global warming gases, especially methane. Food waste is a huge problem at every step in the supply chain. To combat this problem, communities should come together and adopt Zero Waste methods. How to go about it? Read on to know.
Set Benchmarks and a Timeline – In every industry, it is important to set timelines and benchmarks to measure accomplishments and success. Similarly, communities must set benchmarks and timelines to achieve Zero Food Waste. In some communities, people have adopted the goal of diverting 90% waste away from incinerators and landfills within 10 to 15 years. Others have set larger goals of achieving Zero Waste by the year 2040 such as the Urban Environmental Accords. However, before setting goals and timelines, you must:
Engage the Entire Community – Achieving zero waste isn’t possible unless every member of the community engages in the project. So, do not leave the responsibility to the waste experts. Here are a few things you must do:
Perform Waste Assessments – A waste audit is important since it allows identifying the types of waste produced in a community. If funding is not available, you can collect data locally or access it from comparable communities. By performing the audits, you will be able to create a baseline based on which recovery opportunities can be identified. Here’s what you can do:
Educate the Community – Educate residents, visitors, and businesses about the Zero Waste strategy. Brainstorm and devise ways to achieve better organization and industrial design. Communities must also conduct workshops in schools, universities, and workplaces on how to practice Zero Waste. Develop/Expand Zero Food Waste Infrastructures – To achieve Zero Waste, the infrastructure must be in accordance with the strategy. Here’s how Zero Waste infrastructures can be expanded:

These propensities put additional strain on our normal assets and harm our current circumstance. At the point when we squander food, we squander the work, exertion, venture and valuable assets (like water, seeds, feed, and so forth) that go into creating it, also the assets that go into shipping and preparing it. To put it plainly, squandering food builds ozone harming substance outflows and adds to environmental change.

I like that you pointed out that it would be best to adopt an environment-friendly waste management method for existing providers. I hope that corporate waste management companies will all do that to preserve our planet. It would help lessen the effects of climate change and even improve the air quality and water quality of our planet.

I agree that everyone in a community needs to agree to achieve zero waste. I hope that happens one day. But all I can do is try and convince people slowly with dumpsters and recycle bins.

I want to make sure that I get rid of waste, but I'm not sure how to go about it. It makes sense that I would want to get a professional to help me out with this. That seems like a good way to ensure that it's all disposed of correctly.

Thanks for pointing out that achieving zero waste is not possible unless every member of the community engages in the project. I would imagine that any company would want to help the environment. I think they should look for commercial recycling experts who can implement a customized recycling program for their business to increase revenue and refine their waste stream.
