"The majority of wasted food is sent to landfills where, as it decomposes it produces methane - a greenhouse gas 21 times more potent than carbon dioxide.

"The Environmental Protection Agency also highlights the environmental benefits of recycling food waste as compost, including improving soil health and increasing drought resistance."
