HOW TO USE THIS SET OF SLIDES
                •    The FLW Standard provides consistent language for describing the scope of an FLW 
                     inventory.
                •    The Standard does not prescribe a particular definition for “food loss and waste.” 
                     Rather it defines what the possible components of “food loss and waste” could be in 
                     terms of possible material types (i.e., food and/or associated inedible parts) and 
                     destinations (where material removed from the food supply chain is directed). It 
                     allows an entity to select which combination of material types and destinations it 
                     considers to be “food loss and waste”
                •    We have created a template to graphically show the 5 dimensions of scope (including 
                     possible components of “material type” and “destinations”)
                •    These slides show you how to customize this template and create a graphic that you 
                     can use to easily describe your scope using the FLW Standard
                •    Also included in this set of slides is a sample showing how you can use this template 
                     to describe the scope
                •    The Appendix includes definitions (material types, destinations and the boundary), 
                     the 8 reporting requirements, and FLW Standard’s Table of Contents
       TEMPLATE of graphic for you to customize

       HOW TO EDIT GRAPHIC*
       1.  MATERIAL TYPES AND DESTINATIONS – 
             Color in the boxes only for material type(s) and destination(s) that are included. 
                               TO COLOR A BOX:
          Animal Feed          1. Select shape, go to “Format” 
                               2. Go to “Shape Fill” and select “Gold, lighter 80%” from “Theme colors”**
                               3. Go to “Shape Outline” and select “Green” from “Theme colors”**
                               4. Make edits to relevant text. Highlight text and select “Black” from “Font colors”
                               ** These colors should be available on most versions of PowerPoint.
          Inedible parts       TO “GREY-OUT” BOX IF NOT IN SCOPE:
                               1. Select shape, go to “Format” 
                               2. Go to “Shape Fill” and select “No Fill” or “White” from “Theme colors”
                               3. Go to “Shape Outline” and select “Grey” from “Theme colors”
                               4. The text uses the same “Grey” as the shape outline
       2. CHECKMARK – 
           Use check mark only for colored boxes (for material types and destinations)
           •  This symbol can be copy & pasted for reuse.
           •  You can also adjust the color. For example, if a destination is included in the scope of the 
              inventory but no FLW goes to that destination, you may change the color of the check mark for 
              that destination to be “beige.”
