Analyst Report
Food scraps such as carrot peels look harmless, but food waste is actually one of the biggest drivers of climate change. Food decomposing in landfills emits methane, a greenhouse gas that has at least 25 times more warming power than carbon dioxide. As a result, food waste and scraps make up 8% of all greenhouse gasses emissions -- two times more than the emissions from aviation.
As it is such a big driver of climate change, we should all do our best to reduce food waste. But some food will still get wasted despite our efforts, and food scraps are hard to avoid. That’s why composting is a good solution.
Not every U.S. state separates food waste out as part of trash collection, but there are other options. Blue Earth Compost is a food waste and scraps collection company operating in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York. Customers like households, municipalities, and businesses pay the company to collect their plant-based waste. Blue Earth Compost then pays other companies to take the waste away and transform it.
