Food should be a resource not a waste.
Food waste is a complicated issue that has far reaching ramifications including societal strain, environmental degradation, and financial burdens. The IWRC has been providing food waste prevention and reduction services since 2013 and can help reduce your bottom line, decrease your environmental footprint, and walk you through many strategies that work to divert food waste from the landfill. We also provide training and support while implementing food waste initiatives including composting, donation, tracking and analyses, and partnership building that increase local diversion opportunities. Food waste diversion is in our wheel house and we can help. Just give us a call or send us an email.
