This makes food waste the third largest carbon emitter, after China & the USA.
How ? Because we do not optimize our conservation techniques, because we are expecting finding all kinds of ingredients in any season of the year, because B2B food industry and restaurants don't always look for stocks optimization, because we expect to get only "beautiful" & calibrated products on the shelves.
But Food Waste products are not only these unsold ones close to expiry date, these are also products from food surplus taking too much space in big HoReCa actors distribution centers and warehouses which call for a depletion to the trash to limit inventory costs; These are also products subject to a change of barcode or price which need to be pulled out of the shelves so not dilute manufacturers margins.
This type of surplus is very often finding its way to the trash, as it requires a stream of transformation and conservation techniques before being able to last in time. But these transformations require professional culinary expertise, storage space, and a lot of manpower. And today, most non profits and social organizations as well as most people don't have the infrastructures, the equipment, the knowledge and skills to upcycle this unsold food.
This is where Hearth Project acts through a portfolio of actions,
