Love Food, Hate Waste

Fresh fruit and vegetables are at the top of the list of most wasted food categories in the UK. Each UK household throws away 540.00 EUR a year in wasted food, making up to 6.7m tons or 15mt of CO2 and equivalent to one third of food brought home for consumption. Working professionals in the 16-34 age group and young families are the prime offenders. A promotion campaign to reduce food waste by 100,000t by 31 March is underway, conducted by the Waste & Resources Action Program’s (WRAP) Love Food Hate Waste (LFHW) initiative.
