Key Drivers for Change
Why Managing Food Waste Matters More Than EverRegulatory Compliance: Food waste regulations in the U.S. are becoming more stringent. In California, SB 1383 mandates a 75% reduction in organic waste disposal by 2025 and requires food generators to recover at least 20% of surplus edible food for donation. Similarly, Vermont’s Universal Recycling Law (Act 148) bans food waste from landfills, and Massachusetts has a ban on businesses generating over one ton of food waste per week from disposing of it in landfills. Non-compliance could result in fines, penalties, and operational disruptions.
Operational Efficiency: Inefficient food waste management leads to higher logistics costs, additional labor, and supply chain disruptions. Marrad’s food waste solutions reduce operational inefficiencies, allowing your teams to focus on running the business rather than managing waste.
Sustainability Pressures: Reducing food waste aligns directly with your sustainability goals. Food waste accounts for a significant portion of organic waste in landfills, and reducing it can directly contribute to decreasing your carbon footprint. Stakeholders expect businesses to actively manage their environmental impact, making food waste reduction a critical part of your sustainability strategy.
