Oregon bill would require composting of food waste statewide and clear food labeling

We get two perspectives on this bill that would mandate widespread composting statewide and more clear food labels.
The article from OPB discusses Oregon's legislative efforts to address food waste through a bill that would mandate clearer labeling on food products to reduce confusion over expiration dates, thereby decreasing food waste. The proposed legislation, discussed on the "Think Out Loud" segment, aims to standardize terms like "sell by," "use by," and "best by" to help consumers better understand when food is still safe to eat. Additionally, the bill seeks to promote food composting by requiring larger communities to provide composting services, aligning with broader environmental goals to reduce landfill waste. The discussion includes insights from experts on the potential impact of these changes on consumer behavior and waste management practices in Oregon.
