Description
The Food Recovery Challenge (FRC) was a voluntary incentive program in which organizations and businesses set data-driven goals, implement targeted strategies to reduce wasted food in their operations, and report results to compete for annual data-driven and narrative awards recognition from EPA.
Eligibility
The FRC was available to U.S.-based organizations and businesses. Only activities and reductions that occurred since a participant’s prior award-cycle are considered for awards in a given year.
