Food Biowaste Market, By Food Waste

To Get a Summarized Market Report By Food Waste-

When we look at Food Waste, the market basically splits into two areaswhat we eat (food consumption) and how it's made (food production). In 2021, food consumption was the bigger piece of the pie, making up 60.86% of the market – that's about 36.39 Million Tons! We're expecting it to keep growing, too, at a rate of 0.24% each year. Food production came in second place that year, valued at 9.55 Million Tons, and it's also expected to grow at 0.24% annually. So, what does food waste in food production actually mean? It’s all the good, edible food that gets lost or tossed out while we're farming, processing, and manufacturing our food. It covers everything from what happens on the farm to what happens in factories getting food ready for us. Things like not-so-great farming, where farmers might grow too much, harvest things wrong, or struggle with pests, can really add up to a lot of wasted food even before it hits the stores.

Strict quality standards and market demands often result in the rejection of fruits, vegetables, and other agricultural products that do not meet specific cosmetic or size requirements. Additionally, unused by-products, such as peels, seeds, or shells, may be discarded. Food products with shorter shelf lives, such as fresh produce, seafood, and dairy products, are more prone to spoilage and waste if not properly managed throughout the production and distribution process. Strict quality control measures may result in the rejection of food items that do not meet specific standards, even if they are still safe and edible.

Food Biowaste Market, By Green Waste

When it comes to green waste in the Global Food Biowaste Market, we're talking about things like lawn clippings and mowing, dead leaves, shrub and hedge trimmings, and even the stuff you get from pruning trees and shrubs. In 2021, lawn clippings and mowing were the big winner, grabbing the biggest slice of the pie – a whopping 45.51%! That's about 16.35 Million Ton worth, and it's expected to keep growing at a rate of 0.89%. Dead leaves came in second, clocking in at 8.39 Million Ton in 2021, and are projected to grow at a rate of 0.71%. Interestingly enough, while not the biggest right now, shrub and hedge trimmings are expected to grow the fastest, with a CAGR of 1.03%.

Food waste in the context of lawn clippings and mowing means the discarding or wasteful disposal of organic materials derived from lawn maintenance activities. While lawn clippings can contribute to overall food waste if they are not properly managed. Many individuals and communities dispose of lawn clippings in landfills, where they contribute to the organic waste stream. When mixed with other waste, lawn clippings can decompose and produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Think of those lawn clippings not as trash, but as gold for your garden! They're fantastic for composting, adding loads of good stuff back into the soil. But so often, these valuable clippings just get tossed into landfills instead of being used to make awesome, nutrient-rich compost. See, lawn clippings are packed with goodies like nitrogen and carbon that your soil will absolutely love. When we bag them up and throw them away, we're basically throwing away free fertilizer! It's much better, from a sustainability point of view, to leave them right where they are. This is called grass cycling, and it's like a natural recycling program for your lawn. The clippings break down and feed the soil, cutting down on the need for those expensive synthetic fertilizers.

Food Biowaste Market, By Geography

To Get a Summarized Market Report By Geography- 

Okay, so when we look at where food biowaste is happening around the world, we can break it down by regions like North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and South Africa. In 2022, North America was the biggest player, grabbing about 33.36% of the market with a volume of 60.00 Million Tones. But heads up, it's expected to grow at a rate of -0.45% over the next few years. Meanwhile, Asia Pacific is really taking off! Think rapid growth thanks to cities getting bigger and more industries popping up. Countries like China, India, and Japan are really focused on dealing with waste and making renewable energy. Plus, governments are pushing things like waste-to-energy projects and composting, which makes the biowaste market there even more appealing. Now, North America basically boils down to the USA and Mexico. They're doing well because their markets are so connected. The market's revenue is looking pretty solid. The United States, with its super diverse industries, is really leading the way in North America. And companies there can expand and come up with new ideas easier than companies in Europe and parts of Asia. That's a pretty big advantage!

Here in America, it's heartbreaking to think that around 35 million people, including 10 million kids, struggle with not having enough food. One of the biggest culprits? We throw away perfectly good food all the time! It's estimated that over 80% of Americans toss consumable food, often because they're confused by those expiration labels. You know, the "sell by," "use by," "expires on," "best before," or "best by" dates. People get worried about getting sick, so they just toss it. Sadly, the U.S. throws away more food than almost any other country – a staggering 60 million tons, or 120 billion pounds each year. That's like throwing away almost 40% of our entire food supply, adding up to about 325 pounds per person! Imagine throwing 975 apples per person in the trash. It's no wonder food is the biggest thing filling up our landfills, making up about 22% of all the solid waste we create. And get thisall that wasted food is worth about USD 218 billion, which could have provided 130 billion meals. Visit EPA.gov to learn more about food waste.

Okay, so here's the deal in Mexicowe're throwing away a LOT of food. The FAO says that about 37% of meat products go to waste, which is way more than the 10% for fruits and veggies. And get this – Food Bank of Mexico (BAMX) says a third of all the food we make ends up in the trash! That's like 38 tons every minute, enough to feed 25.5 million people who are struggling to get enough to eat. Overall, we're tossing about 35% of all the food we prepare. For meats like chicken and fish, that number can jump to 40%, and it's 37% for beef. Big cities like Monterrey, Mexico City, and Guadalajara seem to be the worst offenders, and it's a problem because around 50 million Mexicans can't even afford basic food baskets. Notimex reported that we've been wasting 20.4 million tons of food every year since 2020.
