The True Cost of Food Waste

Don't let revenue drop off the line

The true cost of food waste takes into account the initial investment in raw ingredients & packaging materials and is compounded by the energy and water consumption, labour, wastewater, and disposal costs. 

Don't let diversion eat into your revenue

While diverting avoidable food waste to a biodigester or transforming it into products like animal feed may seem like a cost-effective method for managing wasted product; prevention at the source is the most cost-effective method to address avoidable food waste.
