Over £1 billion worth of food is wasted by consumers in Scotland each year. That's an average of £430 per household.
Scottish households throw away 566,000 tonnes of food every year.
Two thirds of all food waste could have been eaten.
Half of the good food thrown away is untouched, with one in seven items still in their packaging.
At least £18 million worth of food thrown out is still in date.
If we stopped wasting all this food, we could prevent the equivalent of 1.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year in Scotland. This is the same as taking 1 in 4 cars off the road.
