Composting Food Waste: Living the Values of the UN World Environment Day Mission
Today is the 50th anniversary of the UN World Environment Day, a day that serves as a global platform to promote awareness and action for the protection of our environment. In the spirit of this event, we are thrilled to announce the launch of Table2Ground™ (T2G), a company dedicated to providing innovative solutions that divert food waste from landfills and support sustainably responsible food waste generators.
Below is our take on how composting food waste ties into the UN Environment Programme's goals and why it's so important in building a greener, more sustainable future.
Combat Climate Change:
Food waste in a landfill can take months or years to decompose and has a significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions. T2G takes proactive actions to cut methane emissions, reduce our environmental footprint, and battle climate change by diverting food waste from landfills through composting. The T2G decentralized on-site, commercial waste management solutions only take 24 hours to achieve a remarkable 80-90% volume reduction at the source itself. Thus, minimizing methane gas emissions, removing the need to haul food waste off-site, and producing nutrient-rich pre-compost or soil conditioner.
This launch is about more than about us; it is also about contributing to a worldwide effort to create a more sustainable future, while also providing a means for companies to be fiscally sound.
Preserve Biodiversity and Reverse the Impact:
One of the more pressing issues highlighted by the UN Environment Programme is the preservation of biodiversity. Landfills not only degrade biodiversity but also put a strain on ecosystems. Composting food waste allows us to reverse this impact. By transforming food waste into nutrient-rich pre-compost or soil conditioner, we nourish the soil, support plant growth, and promote biodiversity. T2G’s commitment to circular practices ensures that food waste is no longer discarded, but rather becomes a valuable resource in the cycle of life. At T2G, we actively champion the protection of biodiversity, recognizing its intrinsic value in creating a harmonious and sustainable environment.
Take Responsibility for Consumption and Production:
T2G believes in action, and action does not have to be complex, expensive, or years in the making. We are aligned with the UN Environment Programme's vision of responsible consumption and production. By diverting food waste from landfills, we alleviate the strain on waste management infrastructure and reduce the need for costly disposal measures. Our compost serves as a natural and eco-friendly alternative to chemical fertilizers, fostering responsible production practices that prioritize the health of our soil and environment. Composting empowers positive change by allowing all to actively participate in responsible consumption and production.
Celebrate and Act:
As we celebrate UN World Environment Day, we are thrilled to launch T2G; a company dedicated to composting food waste and making a meaningful impact on our planet. We wholeheartedly embrace the mission of this global event, combatting climate change, preserving biodiversity, and promoting sustainable consumption and production practices. We invite you to join us on this journey towards a greener, healthier, and more sustainable world.
