New Hampshire’s Food Waste Law Struggles | Concord News
Description
New Hampshire’s food waste ban is falling short because the state simply doesn’t have enough composting facilities to handle the volume—businesses are tossing out 36,000 tons annually, but current sites can only manage 8,000. With only five processing centers statewide and most capacity already maxed, gaps stretch across the southeast and north country. While neighboring states offer some help, the real bottleneck is local infrastructure—and a proposed anaerobic digester is still under review. Officials say full enforcement depends on how fast new facilities get built, echoing a nationwide trend where bans spur investment in needed infrastructure.
