Line 45:

It is hoped this will put countries on track towards the attainment of the UN [[Sustainable Development Goals]] and that Member States should aim to achieve a food waste reduction target of 30% by 2025 and 50% by 2050.

==Food Waste Collection==

[[Food Waste]] for households can be collected in two primary arrangements, as set out in more detail on the links to the following:

* [[Food Comingled| Food Mixed with Garden Waste]]

* [[Food Separate | Food Collected Separately]]

The two systems are collected in different bin and lorry systems as summarised below.
