Food Waste
In 2012, over 500,000 tons of food related waste was diverted from landfills in Washington State.
WHY IT MATTERS
- Target 3 of the King County Local Food Initiative is to decrease the amount of wholesome food loss by 25% in the next 10 years. This means diverting food from landfills through composting, repurposing food waste, and recovering food waste for consumption.
