ARECO Pacific takes action against food waste

In Australia, 35% of the food produced is wasted. Faced with this challenge, the Minister for the Environment, Sussan Ley, launched the Australian Food Pact on Thursday 21 October.

The implementation of the Australian Food Pact plays a vital role in the Australian National Food Waste Strategy established by the Department of the Environment and Energy of the Australian Government in an effort to tackle food waste.

As signatories to the Australian Food Pact, ARECO is joining a powerful group of partners and companies some of which ARECO works with including Woolworths Group and Coles leading Australia’s efforts to halve food waste by 2030.

ARECO is looking forward to working with other signatories and End Food Waste Australia closely to reduce food waste and food insecurity, drive innovation and improve sustainability and resilience in the Australian food chain.
