Both organizations work closely with the food industry to source good surplus food that would otherwise go to waste, landfill or anaerobic digestion.
Key Points:
- Both organizations work closely with the food industry to source good surplus food that would otherwise go to waste, landfill or anaerobic digestion.
- Since then, food banks across Europe (including FareShare and the Felix Project) have already received donated sustainable RPCs to support their food distribution to charities.
- While food donations are not a long-term solution to food poverty, IFCO recognizes that the professional redistribution of quality surplus food has an important role to play.
- IFCO RPCs ensure a better fresh food supply chain by protecting freshness and quality and lowering costs, food waste and environmental impact compared to single-use packaging.
