<h1>Food Waste in Japan</h1>
<p>Every year, Japan produces about 400 million tons of industrial waste and
about 50 million tons of household and general commercial waste. Of the household
and general commercial waste, about 20 million tons consist of food waste. This
is 6 times the weight of used-newspaper waste and 4 times that of discarded
automobiles.</p>
<p>Now, how much food waste is being recycled? For food waste from the "processing
and manufacturing" stage, 48 percent is being recycled. Examples of this include
feeding pigs fresh bean curd pressings that are byproducts after making tofu.</p>
<p>On the other hand, most food waste from the "distribution" stage is not recycled.
Examples include unsold food at supermarkets and lunch boxes and hamburger meat
that have passed the expiration date at convenience stores. This is mostly incinerated
and sent to landfills.</p>
<p>Under Japan's Basic Law for Establishing a Recycling-Based Society, which
entered into force in January 2003, the Food Recycling Law took effect in June
of the same year. This law's aims are to reduce the amount of food waste generated
by food manufacturers and restaurants, and to promote the reuse of food waste
such as by turning it into livestock feed and compost.</p>
<p>Pressed into action by this law, an increasing number food manufacturers
and restaurants are working to use food waste as compost. One of those initiatives
is by the Hotel New Otani in Tokyo. This hotel previously had a contractor deal
with the waste, but today turns not only food waste such as banquet hall leftovers
but also used flowers from hotel wedding ceremonies into compost in a composting
facility set up below the hotel.</p>
<p>The compost is used by farmers contracted to grow vegetables, which are then
purchased by the hotel. The hotel was able to save the costs it once paid to
a waste management company, and recovered the cost of the new in-house composting
facility in about 3 years. There are an increasing number of initiatives like
this around the country to create a circular flow of materials between producer
and consumer.</p>
<p>Seiyu, a major supermarket chain, was able to reduce the amount of unsold
food disposed by about 18 percent just in a year, through such measures as more
careful procurement to avoid waste, as well as making unsold food available
for employees to purchase before its expiration date, as "ecological discount
products."</p>
