This law tasked the DEP with developing a plan that will guide the state to achieve the reduction goal. The Food Waste Reduction Plan quantifies the amount of food waste generated in New Jersey based on available data, establishes the 50×30 Goal in accordance with the law, and proposes short and long-term actions that the DEP intends to take to achieve this goal.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][info-box-shortcode icon=”far fa-file-pdf” buttontitle=”October 2023 Food Waste Reduction Plan” buttonlink=”/wp-content/uploads/dshw/food_waste_reduction_plan.pdf” targetlink=”true”][/info-box-shortcode][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][info-box-shortcode icon=”far fa-file-pdf” buttontitle=”(P.L. 2017 c.136) Law” buttonlink=”/wp-content/uploads/dshw/pl_2017_136.pdf” targetlink=”true”][/info-box-shortcode][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
