- Over a third of the food we buy in Scotland is thrown directly in the bin and over half of this could have been eaten.
- Over £889m worth of food is wasted by consumers in Scotland each year. That's an average of £410 per household!
- If we stopped wasting all this food, we could prevent the equivalent of 1.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year in Scotland. This is the same as taking 1 in 4 cars off the road.
- Around 587,000 tonnes of food waste is thrown out by Scottish households each year.
Hints & tips: Martin Wishart
Take time to forward plan before you visit your local shop, farmers market or supermarket.
