Save-On-Foods aims to cut food waste in half
CALGARY – Food waste is a substantial issue in Canada, with almost 60 per cent of food produced in the country wasted annually.
One grocery chain is working to try and eliminate this problem as Save-On-Foods aims to reduce food waste by 50 per cent by 2025.
Through its food waste diversion programs, Save-On-Foods has undertaken initiatives in stores across Western Canada to divert surplus and potentially wasted food away from landfills and redirecting it to the best use.
“We have now rolled out our food waste diversion program in nearly 100 of our 170 stores,” said Darrell Jones, President of Save-On-Foods.
