Food Waste
Food waste recycling is essential for reducing the staggering amount of food sent to landfills—nearly 40% of all food in the U.S. ends up as waste, contributing to around 22% of municipal solid waste and releasing harmful greenhouse gasses as it decomposes. Recycling food waste transforms it into valuable resources like animal feed, compost, and renewable energy, promoting a more sustainable and circular economy.

Food Safety Moderinzation Act
The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) represents a significant shift in the U.S. food safety paradigm, emphasizing proactive measures to prevent foodborne illnesses rather than merely responding to outbreaks. Enacted in 2011, FSMA empowers the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to implement stricter regulations on food producers and suppliers, focusing on preventive controls, enhanced inspection protocols, and increased accountability throughout the food supply chain.
The act mandates thorough risk assessments, requires food facilities to develop and implement comprehensive food safety plans, and improves traceability of food products. By prioritizing prevention, FSMA aims to protect public health and ensure safe food for consumers, fostering a more resilient food system in the United States.
