FOOD WASTE: GOOD NEWS – AND BAD

Did you know that 4.4 million potatoes are thrown awayin

the UK every day? But there is a positive story – we binned

480,000 tonnes less food in 2018 than in 2015, accordingthe

Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP). What

made the difference? It’s thought it was due to clearer

labelling, heightened public awareness and more local

authorities offering food waste collections.

the total UK food waste figure is a staggering 9.5 million

tonnes per year. That waste produces around 25 million

tonnes of CO 2 – equivalent to the emissions produced by

10 million cars. How much land is required to produce

that wasted food? An area almost the size of Wales...
