Excess supermarket food to go to needy in proposed 'zero waste' pilot project

PUTRAJAYA: A pilot project for zero waste of food stuff is set to be launched this year, said Datuk Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. 

The Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) Minister said a policy is being drawn up for excess food stuff from hypermarkets and supermarkets to be distributed to the needy, instead of being dumped into the landfill.
