Although not available everywhere, it still has a positive impact in providing a solution to food waste. According to Recycle Track Systems, the world throws away about 2.5 billion tons of food each year, and the U.S. is the biggest culprit. We throw away almost 60 million tonnes (120 billion pounds) a year – more than any other country. So it’s good that apps and programs like this are growing fast.
