Closed Enforce legislation to ensure out of date food is donated or recycled/reused.

Closed on

Supermarkets, restaurants, farmers, corner shops and all establishments of similar nature have a certain percentage of food waste. This is unacceptable, when it has a potential.

This food waste is not always used to its full potential and can end up in landfill especially if it's still in its packaging.

This food surplus can be used more wisely, whether it's used to help the less fortunate or even burned as biofuel.
