Food waste plays an important role in the economy of food sectors. Apart from direct implication of feeding the needy, decreasing food waste would lead to improved land utilization and water resources management. This article is meant to bring out the food waste management practices followed in and around Erode, Tamil Nadu, and India. The study is based on surveying methodology conducted by designing a questionnaire to bring out the current methods practiced for food waste disposal in restaurants in the locality. The finding of the survey implicates a considerable reduction in the use of plastics following the ban on single use plastics through a government order.
