Food industry recycling solutions

What are the causes of food waste? Inside production processes, we can find labelling errors, packaging discrepancies, packaging not suitable for maintaining the freshness of the product. In distribution, otherwise, we can find expired or unsold products. Goods that have these kinds of problems are full-fledged wastes ready to be disposed and sent into landfill. This involves a cost for companies, as well as a significant waste of resources.
