Landfill Diversions Innovations
Landfill Diversion’s name speaks for itself, as our purpose is to divert waste from landfills. You are officially part of the solution!
According to the EPA and USDA, more than one quarter of America’s food, or about 96 billion pounds of food a year, goes to waste. The EPA has found that discarded food is either the largest or next single largest component (depending on classification) of America’s solid waste. This nation spends an estimated $1 billion a year to dispose of excess food. The issue of how to reduce such waste is critical.
We are currently developing targeted programs to address these issues. Our Organics program, seeks to reduce the amount of produce, bakery and deli waste, and expired dairy products in the landfill and to find a better solution.
To facilitate the redistribution of food products to animal care providers, Landfill Diversion has developed the Sustainable Selections Program.
