Food waste is a staggering issue, with grocery stores discarding about 30% of their inventory each year, contributing to significant environmental impacts.
Costco addresses food waste by donating unsold fresh produce to food banks and shelters, while also sending leftover ugly fruits and veggies to farms, benefiting animals.
The discarded produce not only includes visually unappealing items but commonly wasted goods like leafy greens and tomatoes. Costco has found a way to repurpose them.
By redirecting food waste, Costco helps mitigate the environmental impact of farming, transportation emissions, and resource waste, transforming waste into sustenance for both people and animals.
