Figure 1: Infographic on Municipal Food Waste Strategies

![An infographic detailing a regional authority's campaign to reduce municipal food waste. The headline reads: 'Goal: Reduce food waste sent to landfills by 75% by 2032'. Below this, the infographic displays four key facts:

  1. Households: Currently, only 30% of detached houses actively use the organic bin service.
  2. Infrastructure: High-density housing and apartments (which account for 45% of urban residents) currently lack designated space for external food waste bins.
  3. Processing: Regional anaerobic digestion plants are already operating at 95% capacity, and planning/building a new facility takes up to 7 years.
  4. Education: 60% of surveyed residents do not know which items qualify as compostable food waste.](https://assets.mathsgenie.co.uk/aqa-qb/6c392ac1-3b97-4a2f-a1fa-35a16dfa964d.png)

Using Figure 1 and your own geographical understanding, suggest why the regional authority's target to reduce food waste sent to landfills by 75% by 2032 may not be met.
