On 29 September 2020, Sri Lanka observec the world’s first annual ‘International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste’. This day highlights the importance of minimising food waste and presents a call to action to everyone along supply chains right down to the consumers.
During this time, when Sri Lanka’s efforts to counteract bio-waste pollution and landfilling are being emphasised, in the year 2018/19, 50-60% of the total solid waste transported in the Western Province, to the three dumping sites in Kaduwela, Karadiyana and Kerawalapitiya by 20 local authorities, was food waste.
