Let's Fight
Food Waste Together!

1.3 billion tons

of food end up in the trash every year worldwide

25 billion dollars

is the food waste cost of the U.S. restaurant industry

The U.S. restaurant industry generates about 11.4 million tons of food waste annually. Yet restaurants could save 7 dollars for every dollar they invest in reducing food waste.
