Fig. 4: Likely food waste generation levels across US states under the EPA-2021 scenario.

From: State-level policies alone are insufficient to meet the federal food waste reduction goal in the United States

Fig. 4

In the EPA-2021 scenario, the contribution of recycling policies is excluded to reflect the EPA’s updated food waste definition. The green line shows federal food waste generation target and orange circles show state per capita food waste generation in 2022. Coloured segments represent the likely ranges for the baseline scenario, whereas additional solutions modelled in the alternative scenario are depicted as black lines. The x axis is on a log10 scale.
