Food Waste Recycling at Home
Food Waste Recycling at Home
The growing, production, transportation and distribution of food requires a huge amount of water, power and fuel. A large amount of food ends up going to waste. This could be due to inedible parts (ie carrot tops), out of date food, or excess at supermarkets.
More resources are then required to collect and deal with the waste, which in most cases is taken to landfill where it is left to rot, which in turn creates harmful Co2 gases and other environmental harm.
This whole process is wasteful and harmful to the environment. We need to do something to break this cycle.
Who produces the most food waste?
According to the most recent report by the charity Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), the UK produced around 9.5 million tonnes of food waste in 2018. Broken down by sector, this waste was comprised of:
6.6 million tonnes (70%) from households.
1.5 million tonnes (16%) from manufacturers.
1.1 million tonnes (12%) from hospitality and food service (HaFS).
0.3 million tonnes (3%) from the retail industry.
This list clearly shows that the vast majority of food waste comes from households. As individuals, we can do something about this.
