Responsible Production & the Circular Economy

Food waste continues to be a global challenge despite industry-wide efforts to reduce it. Every year, about 80 billion pounds of food are discarded in the U.S. The EPA issued a telling statement about the situation in September when it said, “Let us feed people, not landfills.”

Companies are actively pursuing alternative approaches to the linear take-make-waste model that decouple economic growth from resource constraints—such as the circular economy.
