The U.S. food waste recycling market is growing quickly, driven by stronger sustainability goals,  wider adoption of circular economy practices by businesses and local governments, and new regulations. It was valued at $226.4 million in 2023 and now it’s projected to reach $748.3 million by 2033, with a steady increase in the amount of waste being processed. Technologies like composting and anaerobic digestion are helping turn food waste into useful products such as compost, renewable energy, and biogas, while reducing reliance on landfills. Ongoing policy support, innovation, and rising awareness are expected to keep the market expanding in the years ahead.
