  2. Food Waste Facts • In the UK, estimates of Annual FoodWaste are 8.3 million metric tonnes. (Financial Times, January 27, 2010) • Further, the biodegradation that does occur in landfills produces methane; a greenhouse gas that is 25 times more potent than CO2 • Resealable packaging usage cuts food waste considerably • Many different zips for applications • Considerable investment in new technology • Further use of technology • Oxygen scavengers on zip • PMAP
