Food products make up 63 percent of a supermarketâs disposed waste stream, according to a California Integrated Waste Management Board industry study. Thatâs approximately 3,000 lbs. thrown away per employee every year.
However, there are other reasons grocery stores let so much good food go to waste. The National Resources Defense Council did a study in 2012 identifying some of major factors that contribute to supermarket food waste.nd grocery stores are responsible for tossing 10% of that food. Last week, we headed to major grocery retailers in the New York City area with a couple of âdumpster divers â and saw the food waste first-hand. It turns out food waste may be built into the business model of supermarkets.
