WasteLess Certifed Program
A movement for individuals and businesses to take action on the food waste crisis.
Food waste is a major contributor to climate change. As we waste food, we waste the land, water, labor, and resources used to produce what we eat. Food loss and waste occurs at each stage of the supply chain, with the majority happening at consumer-facing businesses (including grocery stores, restaurants, and other businesses that sell and serve food) and in homes. By becoming WasteLess Certified, you are building a movement for Utah to build a waste-free future of our food system.
WasteLess Certified for Homes

Becoming WasteLess Certified gives your household the tools to plan smarter, cook mindfully, and divert waste effectively.
