In the U.S., food waste is estimated to be between 30 to 40 percent of the supply, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Efforts have been made to reduce this waste, but timelines for freshness and consumption make it difficult for some. Airports, in particular, face short deadlines for food consumption, especially with their packaged grab-and-go items.
The Denver International Airport (DEN) is making an effort to reduce food waste through a partnership with a local group called We Don’t Waste (WDW).
