We are really looking forward to sharing some interesting ideas with you about how to how reduce household food waste by cooking with ingredients we may normally throw away and ingredients we have readily available in our store cupboard/fridges that we don’t perhaps think to use in interesting ways.
Some key facts for you (source: WRAP 2020 report)
By reducing our own household food waste, we will be doing our small bit to lessen the impact on our planet, be sustainable and responsible. Collectively this will have a really positive impact!
Some key facts for you (source: WRAP 2020 report)
- 70% of all food wasted in the UK is domestic household waste (after growth/production), not from manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers or hospitality/food service)
- UK households waste 4.5m tonnes of food a year, worth £14bn
- That’s £700 a year wasted food per average family with children
- This volume of food wasted equates to 10bn edible meals
By reducing our own household food waste, we will be doing our small bit to lessen the impact on our planet, be sustainable and responsible. Collectively this will have a really positive impact!
