✅ #WASTEWISE developed a product-level #database on food loss & waste, covering 53 items across 12 food groups 🥝🥕🥩🐠

Aligned with EU #FoodWaste reporting, it uses a common framework to support research & action 🌍

✅ Combining #FoodWaste data with #LCA helps reveal the real environmental impact of waste and identify the best strategies.

⚠️ But methodological gaps still exist

🎯 #WASTEWISE proposes a systematic framework to bridge this gap.

📣 New #WASTEWISE outcome: a special #methodology to map & assess national and #EU-level rules aimed at preventing and reducing #FoodWaste📉 Main conclusions:

✔️National approaches remain fragmented
✔️ #FoodWastePrevention is not yet fully integrated into climate & energy policies

Are snowbanks and other winter conditions making it challenging to set out your waste at the curb? Be #WasteWise this winter!❄️

Don't place your waste bins on a snowbank, icy surfaces or on the road to ensure the safety of waste collectors. More tips here: https://ow.ly/Z4eF50XJKMV
