European Parliament plans to cut European food waste in half by 2030
Environment MEPs suggested measures to cut the EU 88 million tonnes per year food waste in half by 2030. They called on the European Commission to ease restrictions on food donations. In addition to that, they called for a solution to clarify “best before” and “use by” labelling.
MEPs plan to cut food waste by 30% by 2025 and 50% by 2030.
Hungarian MEP Biljana Borzan said that food is wasted mostly at the end of the chain, at distribution and consumption. She added that everyone has a responsibility to tackle this problem. His report calls for a coordinated policy response on labelling, liability and education, as most consumers do not understand the precise meaning of “best before” and “use by” labelling.
The Commission will assess the possible removal of certain dates for products.
