Waste

62.50 Points

Food decomposes on its own in nature, yet food waste accounts for nearly 50% of all municipal solid waste in landfills. Over 90% of plastics are never recycled.

Landfills are layered deep with solid waste, making it impossible for oxygen to reach biodegradable food waste, and preventing it from decomposing for hundreds of years. Del Posto New York reduces food waste before it is created and disposes of it properly by:
