The Indiana Recycling Coalition received a $50,000 grant that will go towards its Commercial Food Composting Program to help reduce food waste.

The U.S. spends more than\u00a0$200 billion a year to make food that is never eaten. One\u00a0in 7\u00a0Americans are food insecure, despite the 52 million tons of food sent to a landfill each year, according to the group ReFED.

Carey Hamilton, executive director of the Indiana Recycling Coalition, says when food waste can\u2019t be reduced where it\u2019s produced, composting can have many benefits, including \u201ccreating a rich soil product.\u201d

\u201cAnd there\u2019s a significant carbon reduction benefit to composting versus disposal of organic products in land fills,\u201d says Hamilton.

The Indiana Recycling Coalition will coordinate among partners who produce food waste, transport it, and compost it.

Hamilton hopes the work started with the grant will snowball and the program will become financially sustainable once the grant money runs out next year.

The Indiana Recycling Coalition\u2019s grant is 1\u00a0of 8\u00a0awarded to recipients across the country from The Closed Loop Foundation. The group is spending $350,000 on the awards to aid in food waste reduction efforts.
