The Roadmap to Urban Food Waste Prevention and Reduction in Households, Food
Services, Retailers and Wholesalers was launched in Colombo under the patronage of the
Secretary to the Ministry of Environment Dr Anil Jasinghe and Vimlendra Sharan, FAO
Representative for Sri Lanka and the Maldives.
The National Roadmap is based on new evidence generated by the project and past
research. One of the project reports reveal that Sri Lanka generates 7 000 tonnes of solid
waste per day, out of which 65 – 66 percent (by weight) consists of perishable organic
