‼️ In 2021 the #EU generated 58.4 million tonnes of #foodwaste🗑 This waste caused 252 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions ☁️ Simultaneously, 37 million people cannot afford a quality meal every second day 🍽

Tackling food waste is not only an environmental necessity but a key social imperative #WASTEWISE

♻️ #LifeCycleAssessment #LCA is a standardized methodology that quantifies #environmentalimpacts across all stages of a food product’s life, from raw material extraction through processing, transport, consumption, waste management, and disposal.

#WASTEWISE ´s aim is to improve the LCA assessment🎯
