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