participating businesses and partners contributed to advancing Philadelphia&#8217;s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phila.gov\/programs\/zero-waste-initiatives\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">goal to divert 90% or more<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the City&#8217;s waste away from the landfill by 2035 and fostering a culture that bridges food equity and waste reduction. As a result, all the participating businesses composted nearly 80,000 pounds of food and donated almost 6,000 pounds of food with a retail value of over $80,000. &#8220;By participating in the challenge, we hope that these businesses gained valuable insights into their own food waste patterns, identified areas for improvement, and implemented shifts in their practices that can be sustained in the long term,&#8221; shared Ms. Ramkissoon in her opening remarks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After, Ting Wang, Director of Business Advocacy for the Department of Commerce at the City of Philadelphia, presented a citation on behalf of the City to Crust Vegan Bakery for winning the challenge and contributing to the City&#8217;s goals of waste reduction. &#8220;The City of Philadelphia is committed to working with small businesses from across the City to foster practices that prevent and manage waste, but also supports the businesses leading this charge,&#8221; Wang shared. &#8220;I&#8217;d like to present this Citation to Crust Vegan Bakery for their commitment to sustainability and creativity in preventing food waste.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1008133 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sbnphiladelphia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SBN-Food-Saver-Challenge-2024-39-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sbnphiladelphia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SBN-Food-Saver-Challenge-2024-39-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sbnphiladelphia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SBN-Food-Saver-Challenge-2024-39-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sbnphiladelphia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SBN-Food-Saver-Challenge-2024-39-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sbnphiladelphia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SBN-Food-Saver-Challenge-2024-39-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sbnphiladelphia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SBN-Food-Saver-Challenge-2024-39-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.sbnphiladelphia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SBN-Food-Saver-Challenge-2024-39-1900x1267.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1008139\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sbnphiladelphia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SBN-Food-Saver-Challenge-2024-40-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sbnphiladelphia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SBN-Food-Saver-Challenge-2024-40-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.sbnphiladelphia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SBN-Food-Saver-Challenge-2024-40-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sbnphiladelphia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SBN-Food-Saver-Challenge-2024-40-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sbnphiladelphia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SBN-Food-Saver-Challenge-2024-40-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sbnphiladelphia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SBN-Food-Saver-Challenge-2024-40-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.sbnphiladelphia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SBN-Food-Saver-Challenge-2024-40-1900x2850.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.sbnphiladelphia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SBN-Food-Saver-Challenge-2024-40-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meagan Benz, owner of Crust Vegan Bakery, and her team took to the podium to receive the Citation from the City of Philadelphia, a trophy created by Remark Glass, and a $5,000 check. &#8220;I&#8217;m incredibly proud that we won this challenge and that SBN launched it,&#8221;
