Dole Explores Ways To Eliminate Food Waste Westlake Village, California-based Dole Food Co., the larg- est producer of fruit and vegetables in the world, is explor- ing ways to eliminate food waste by 2025. The company is reportedly in the process of researching ways to turn pineapple skins and banana leaves into pack- aging, developing new snacks from misshapen produce that grocery stores don’t want, and processing excess waste in biogas facilities that turn food into electricity to power its processing plants. Dole also launched several new goals on June 30, includ- ing a plan to eliminate fossil-based plastic packaging by 2025 and reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2030 through steps such as moving to clean energy on farms and testing electric trucks for delivery. EMR Seeks Net-Zero Carbon Emissions By 2040 Global metal and plastic recycler European Metal Recy- cling Ltd. (EMR), which is headquartered in the U.K., has launched its sustainability strategy, which establishes its target of net-zero carbon emissions across its entire value chain by 2040. The strategy establishes a 2030 net-zero target for indirect emissions created by the purchase of electricity or steam, defined as Scope 2 emissions under the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, and a 2040 target for direct emissions from all owned and/or controlled sources and indirect emissions up- stream and downstream in the value chain, defined as Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions, respectively. To drive progress toward group-wide net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, EMR said it has joined three key initia- tives from the nonprofit The Climate Group, with European offices in London. These include RE100 to accelerate the transition to renewables, EV100 to switch to electric vehi- cles and EP100 to improve energy productivity across its global portfolio. EMR said its net-zero commitment is underpinned by tar- gets set out in four pillars: renewable electricity, energy pro- ductivity, movement of people and material handling and movement.
