Recital 16

DIRECTIVE (EU) 2025/1892 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 10 September 2025 amending Directive 2008/98/EC on waste (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(16) Reducing food waste at any stage along the food supply chain yields a significant positive environmental impact. Reducing food waste at the production and consumption stages requires different approaches and measures and involves different stakeholder groups. Therefore, one target for the reduction of the generation of food waste should be set for processing and manufacturing and another target should be set for retail and other distribution of food, for restaurants and food services and for households.
