Rhode Island’s Wasted Food Solutions: A Collaborative Effort by CET
CET has supported many businesses and institutions in Rhode Island to enhance their knowledge of food recovery and opportunities for wasted food diversion.
Moreover, when it comes to preventing and diverting a wide range of materials from disposal, we offer no-cost support. We assist a variety of businesses, ranging from those just starting out to those looking to elevate their existing efforts.
Furthermore, CET helps Rhode Island businesses and institutions divert wasted food and supports the growth of the service providers marketplace.
Additionally, CET raises awareness of the RI Food Waste Recycling Law. It partners with service providers like Phood to implement source reduction technologies in dining halls statewide. These initiatives, along with others, are conducted in collaboration with the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, Rhode Island Department of Health, Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation, and the Director of Food Strategy to advance the goals of the Relish Rhody plan aimed at reducing wasted food.
