Love Food Hate Waste Scotland: Homepage

Over £800m worth of food is wasted by consumers in Scotland each year. That’s an average of £366 per household!
If we stopped wasting all this food, we could prevent the equivalent of 1.4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year in Scotland. This is the same as taking 1 in 4 cars off the road.
Around 650,000 tonnes of food waste is thrown out by Scottish households each year.

Wasted food is not only a waste of money, it’s also a major contributor to climate change.
