The calculator, created by Quantis as part of WBCSD’s FReSH program and with input from World Resources Institute, also provides insights that can be used when considering which food loss and waste streams to prioritize. It can be used to compare and contrast the environmental and nutritional impact of various actions to reduce food loss and waste.
The calculator complements the Food Loss and Waste Accounting and Reporting Standard as it enables you to describe and convey the scale and relevance of food loss and waste in terms that may be more meaningful for some audiences than weight.
