Food waste has become a pressing global issue, with staggering statistics revealing the extent of the problem. In the U.S., between 38% and 40% of the total food supply goes to waste, amounting to a market value of approximately $444 billion. Similarly, the EU generates over 58 million tonnes of food waste annually, valued at 132 billion Euros. Globally, more than one-third of all food produced is wasted, contributing significantly to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.
Denali, a prominent waste-repurposing firm in the U.S., is actively addressing this challenge by recycling billions of pounds of food waste and organic materials each year. The company collaborates with major grocers like Walmart and Kroger, as well as smaller food delivery services, to repurpose food waste into compost, high-quality animal feed, biodiesel, and other raw materials.
