Landfill Methane Crisis

Throwing food waste in the trash may seem harmless, but it leads to methane emissions, which are significantly more harmful than CO2. The current waste management system is costly and inefficient, relying heavily on diesel-powered trucks and landfills. While some landfills capture methane for energy, the overall capacity and sustainability of landfills in the U.S. are increasingly concerning. New, tech-enabled solutions could offer better alternatives for managing food waste effectively.
