Landfilled food waste is becoming a methane problem the U.S. can no longer ignore
Key Takeaways
- EPA data cited by CleanTechnica says methane emissions from landfilled food waste are increasing even as total landfill emissions decline.
- The report says more than a quarter of food bought by the average U.S. consumer in 2024 went to waste.
- Wastewater treatment plants are presented as a better fit for some food waste because they already process organics and can recover energy and nutrients.
