Did you know that decomposing food waste in landfills generates methane gas which is 30 times more harmful than C02 emissions from our vehicles?

Could food waste be worse for the environment than plastic?

What’s the Problem?

168 million tonnes

of food waste is created in North America every year.

~50%

of that is generated at the household level.

30x

is how much more harmful food waste in landfills is to the environment than the CO₂ emissions from our vehicles.

1 Year

of food waste in the US = an area the size of California and New York combined.

Composting isn't for everyone.
Landfilling food scraps is unsustainable.

 

People don’t know what they can do to solve this massive food waste problem.

 

So we made the FoodCycler®.

Annual Carbon Emissions of the FoodCycler®

Total Carbon Emissions of the FoodCycler® Over a 7 Year Period

Emissions from processing and shipping as well as end-of-life only occur once. End-of-life is defined as the removal and disposal of the product and degradation of its constituent materials. Energy consumption was converted to CO²e using the US EPA's eGRID emissions factors and average US electricity source emissions. Methane emissions were converted to CO²e using the 100-year global warming potential of methane. Data was collected from a pilot program with over 4,410 residents from 47 Canadian municipalities and a lifecycle analysis performed by ClimatePartner.
