Instructions:
Please complete and submit this form within 90 days of registration.
All information and data submitted to EPA as part of the Food Recovery Challenge (FRC) will be reviewed for accuracy and completeness. If
additional information and data is needed, or if EPA needs to clarify anything that has been submitted, participants will be contacted by a
representative of the Food Recovery Challenge (FRC).
Participants must report data in at least one of the three food diversion categories (prevention, donation, and food recycling). Baseline goals
should represent what you can accomplish by the end of the current calendar year.
Choose the Food Waste Prevention and Recycling activity(ies) your organization plans to undertake and identify quantitative goals your
organization proposes to achieve in tons or lbs. For more information and ideas on how to reduce your wasted food, please click here
http://www.epa.gov/waste/conserve/foodwaste/index.htm
When filling out this form, please input the difference between your baseline data and your projected goal (for example: If your baseline is 90
tons and you would like to move toward 100 tons then you should enter 10 tons as your goal)
If you are just beginning to work on a new program or have not done an inventory of your food waste recently, please select "Summary
Activities" below for inputting your goals.
If you have more detailed information about your data and would like to track by individual actions, please select "Detailed Activities" below
for inputting your goals.

EPA is offering Narrative Awards to eligible FRC participants and endorsers. These awards cover your calendar year 2017 work. Descriptions of the awards and eligibility
criteria are provided below.
Participants can apply for the narrative award categories of source reduction, innovation, education and outreach, and leadership.
To be eligible for Narrative Awards, a participant must do the following:
Submit a participation agreement, baseline data and baseline goal in the SMM Data Management System
Submit 2017 annual data in the SMM Data Management System by early 2018. See the FRC page (https://www.epa.gov/sustainable-management-food/food-recoverychallenge-frc) for details.
Submit 2018 annual goals in the SMM Data Management System by early 2018. See the FRC page (https://www.epa.gov/sustainable-management-food/food-recoverychallenge-frc) for details.
Endorsers can apply for the narrative award categories of endorsers, education and outreach, and leadership.
To be eligible for Narrative Awards, an endorser must do the following:
Submit a participation agreement
Submit a 2017 endorser annual data form in the SMM Data Management System by early 2018. See the FRC page (https://www.epa.gov/sustainable-managementfood/food-recovery-challenge-frc) for details.
Submit 2018 endorser annual goals in the SMM Data Management System by early 2018. See the FRC page (https://www.epa.gov/sustainable-management-food/foodrecovery-challenge-frc) for details.
Please note: You are not limited to one category. Please apply for all categories that fit within the scope of your work in the FRC.
Narrative Award Categories:
Source Reduction: This award is issued to a participant who has demonstrated excellence in source reduction efforts, the top tier of the food recovery hierarchy.
Wasted food source reduction or prevention is the strategy of preventing wasted food before it is created. Examples of this include better purchase, storage, and handling
practices, so that one can prevent wasted food prior to it being generated in the first place. Please note that source reduction does not refer to alternate forms of food
recovery, such as donation or composting.
Innovation: This award is issued to a participant who has demonstrated the creation and implementation of a new or more effective approach to improve wasted food
diversion from landfills or incinerators. Examples of this include a business using the food by-products of another business in an anaerobic digestion facility to produce
electricity, composting in urban settings and conducting training and implementing associated practices to prevent and divert wasted food in settings such as airports or
music/arts festivals.
Education and Outreach: This award is issued to a participant who has raised awareness of sustainable management of food as a sustainability issue. Examples of this
include a college campus creating a wasted food mascot, inviting experts to speak in classes on wasted food and its impacts on the environment and dining facilities
implementing buffets made of intact, uneaten food items.
Leadership: This award is issued to a participant who has demonstrated excellence in improving sustainable management of food practices regionally or nationally
with a focus on participants who excelled in upstream diversions from landfills or incinerators through source reduction. Examples of this include an organization tracking
the amount, type of, and reason for wasted food; setting prevention goals; partnering with a food rescue organization; establishing contracts and partnerships and
participating in regional committees that seek to reduce wasted food.
