SUSTAINABILITY
Reducing Food Waste Throughout the Global Supply Chain
The Fight Against Food Waste
According to the Rainforest Alliance, 17% of global food production is wasted annually, with 40% of that number represented by the United States. As food waste decomposes in landfills, it produces methane, a greenhouse gas that’s 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. That means our collective food waste generates about 10% of all global emissions, and packaging plays a vital role in reducing food waste.
At Sealed Air, we create food packaging solutions that are engineered to protect food, prevent food waste, and reduce environmental impacts.
Global Food Waste Facts
Americans waste 150,000 tons of food each day — equal to a pound per person.
In Latin America, 20% of retail food waste is due to spoilage.
In the EU, around 88 million tons of food waste is generated annually.
In Asia, up to 30% of grains are lost between the producer and market.
