Supplementary notes

* International catering waste includes waste produced by airlines, cruise ships, merchant ships, yachts and cross-border trains.
Due to a lack of quantifiable data relating to cruise ships and military, domestic, and cross-border flights between the US and Canada, only data relating to selected international flights are included in the calculation for international catering waste.
Data for international catering waste was unavailable for 2010. The source calculated international catering waste for 2014 as accounting for less than one percent of Canada's total food waste.
