Pacific Coast Retail Food Waste Report

The 2023 report from the Pacific Coast Collaborative highlights progress in reducing food waste through the Pacific Coast Food Waste Commitment (PCFWC). Since 2019, the initiative has led to a 28% decrease in unsold food rates among retailers, resulting in a 30% reduction in the carbon footprint from unsold food. The commitment aims to cut food waste in half by 2030, emphasizing the importance of collaboration among food businesses and governments to address environmental and food security challenges.
