Food loss and waste is a growing problem in our modern society. The amount of food Americans throw away each year is staggering. In 2014 alone, more than 38 million tons of food waste was generated, with only five percent diverted from landfills and incinerators. EPA estimates that more food reaches landfills and incinerators that any other single material in our everyday trash, constituting 21.6 percent of discarded municipal solid waste.

Government initiatives at State and Local levels outlawing food waste from commercial sources in landfills is intensifying across the United States.  There are growing efforts both to prevent wasted food from occurring in the first place and to divert if from landfills and incinerators in all 10 EPA regions.
