Quotes

Stone's office said the assemblyman is unsure if he will reintroduce the bill next year. He is "weighing his options for how to continue to work to address this problem in the future" Smith said
British Retail Consortium director of food and sustainability, Andrew Opie, added: "Retailers already audit the food waste they're responsible for. They rely on the independent resource efficiency body WRAP to coordinate industry wide food wastewaste reduction figures. Let's not distract from what will win us the greatest gains. That is getting consumers to think harder about what they waste."
Michael Zacka, President and CEO, Tetra Pak US and Canada said: "This award reinforces that our approachâworking closely with our customers and collaboratively pushing innovation to the marketplace, where we not only respond to the needs of the changing consumer, but actually anticipate future onesâis the right approach."
"This is something that traditionally was a function of government working with the private sector—but this bill seeks to put all the responsibility on manufacturers" he said
