Opinion: Food wastage is something Singapore needs to start managing - SilverKris

"Faced with Singapore’s large mismatch between food waste and food insecurity, this organization salvages edible surplus across the supply chain—retrieving items rejected for cosmetic reasons, misprinted packaging, or other non‑safety issues—and channels them to vulnerable people. It highlights that much waste arises in trading and distribution (not just F&B outlets), calls out practices such as brands destroying excess stock, and advocates policy solutions like import quantity controls or taxes, mandatory donation rules, and tax rebates for in‑kind donations. The group also promotes zero‑waste production techniques, partnerships with tech platforms and overseas peers, and consumer uptake of near‑expiry products to reduce retailer and supply‑chain waste." - Mia Chenyze
