Food Waste Prevention Actions

The Regional Waste Management Authority in Marysville, CA promotes Food Waste Prevention Actions in collaboration with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Utilizing the Food Recovery Hierarchy, organizations are guided through prioritized actions to prevent and divert wasted food, emphasizing source reduction. Commercial edible food generators are encouraged to conduct food waste audits using tools developed by the EPA, which enable measurement and tracking of food and packaging waste, facilitating informed decisions to prevent and reduce food waste effectively. Additional resources are available on the EPA's website, offering tools for preventing and diverting wasted food, thereby fostering sustainable waste management practices.
