Landfilling, with its detrimental impacts on our environment, is becoming an increasingly pressing concern. Not only does it produce harmful methane emissions, but it also deteriorates the quality of our air, water, and soil. In response to these alarming challenges, food waste reduction has ascended to the forefront of solutions to combat climate change. The food industry is keenly exploring innovative technologies, such as large-scale anaerobic digestion, to transform organics into clean energy. Brands are now harnessing microorganisms to break down and convert organic waste, particularly from produce and protein food processors, into renewable natural gas and healthy soil amendments. This paves the way for circular economies that significantly reduce methane emissions while safeguarding our air, water, and land from contamination. This session will delve into organics recycling at scale, from understanding the impact of our daily choices to exploring groundbreaking technologies in organic food waste reduction, renewable energy, and resource management.
