We're shining a spotlight on the importance of creating an inclusive circular economy for food waste:
🍏1/3 of all food produced is never eaten
👫 Millions of people go hungry every day
💨 When landfilled, it emits potent greenhouse gases

What are the three steps we can take to create a circular economy?
✏️ Design out waste and pollution
♻️ Keep products and materials in use
🌲 Regenerate natural systems by returning biodegradable waste to its natural state
