Organics & Food Waste
It's estimated that over 50% of food produced in Canada goes to waste.

When food goes to waste, it's not just a wasted product. It's also a waste of all the resources it took to produce the food: the work the farmers put in, transport trucks, manufacturing facilities, etc. Food waste will likely always happen, but what you do with that waste makes a big difference.
When food waste ends up in the landfill, it creates methane gas as it breaks down. Methane is a serious greenhouse gas that can cause harm to both the environment and human health, contributing to global climate change. But when handled properly, food waste can be turned into fertilizer, soil, animal feed, or even fuel.
