Woolworths puts food waste program in place at all stores
Woolworths has introduced food waste diversion programs at each one of its stores in a bid to help tackle Australia’s $20 billion food waste problem.
The supermarket which has reported an average year-on-year reduction of 8 per cent in food waste sent to landfill over the past three years, has pledged to reduce that amount further through these programs.
The supermarket sends surplus fresh foods to hunger relief charity partners, to farmers for stock feed or for commercial organic composting.
Woolworths’ food waste diversion partners OzHarvest, Foodbank and Fareshare have helped divert more than 55,000 tonnes of food from the landfill.
