Food Loss + Waste is a $6 billion opportunity for Canada's food and beverage sector. The pilot demonstrated a strong business case for the industry.
Six month payback
While Campbells was already diverting 99% of its food waste to a biogas generation facility, a partnership with Provision Coalition and Enviro-Stewards to pilot Provision’s Food Loss + Waste (FLW) Reduction Toolkit, uncovered an additional 938 tonnes per year of preventable food waste at their Toronto facility.
"This has been a rewarding process for the team at Campbell Canada in Toronto. We have been committed to Provision’s food loss + waste reduction challenge for some time and now we have successfully applied the recently developed Toolkit in our own facility." - John Lillard, Research & Development, Campbell Company of Canada
