Every year, a staggering 2.5 billion tonnes of food is wasted worldwide.

In Canada alone, 11.2 million tons of food—58% of all food produced—ends up in the trash. Meanwhile, the U.S. discards a shocking 66 million tons annually, nearly 40% of its total food supply (CANGov) (USAGov).

That’s more than just waste—it’s a global crisis.

Here’s a startling fact: Food waste is the #1 contributor to landfills, making up 22% of all landfill waste. 

Even more alarming—51% of that wasted food comes straight from our own kitchens. (ReFED)

Based on our study, your household alone has the power to prevent over half a ton of CO₂ emissions every year. Small changes at home can lead to a massive impact on the planet, and with LILA, reducing your carbon footprint has never been easier.

This is LILA’s LCA - What this shows is despite the production of the machine, and energy used, using LILA will avoid 584.2 kg of CO2 emissions every year. (ReFED Data Insights Engine)

With LILA, your food’s journey doesn’t end in the trash—it begins a new cycle. Gourmet meals become nutrient-rich compost, feeding your plants and enriching the soil. Those plants grow into fresh, healthy ingredients, returning to your table for the next meal. From plate to compost to garden, LILA keeps the cycle going.
