Overview of Food Recycling License

In India, the problem of food waste is a modern problem. Every year, nearly forty per cent of the produced food is wasted in India due to the fragmented food systems and insufficient supply chains as per the Estimation of the FAO, Food and Agriculture Organisation.

Despite an adequate food production, the UN has reported that approximately 190 million Indians remain undernourished. It is also estimated that the food waste is around Rs. 92,000 crores per annum in India.

There is a significant amount of food generated in our homes. According to the Food Waste Index Report 2021, a straight 50 kg of food is thrown away per person every year in India. This wastage of food ends up in landfills, creating the potent greenhouse gas which has so many dire environmental effects. The total amount of food wasted in 20211 is 817,000 tonnes, 23% more than that of food waste generated in 2020. As the amount of food waste increased, the food waste recycling also increased, and so the recycling rate for food waste is still at 19%.
