Which method for limiting garbage production is considered unacceptable?

Making bulk purchases for TCS (Time/Temperature Control for Safety) food items is considered an unacceptable method for limiting garbage production because it can lead to increased waste if not managed properly. TCS items require careful handling and storage to maintain food safety, and bulk purchasing can result in overstocking, which may lead to spoilage and ultimately generate more waste if the items are not used within their safe life span.

In contrast, composting organic waste effectively reduces landfill contributions by returning nutrients to the soil, while using reusable containers minimizes the need for disposables, thereby cutting down on overall waste. Encouraging customer feedback on packaging can also guide improvements to reduce waste, but it does not directly reduce the amount of garbage produced like the other options.
