WRAP has come up with an update on the amount of food that the UK throws away. The answer is about 7.2 million tons, or roughly 20% of the food we buy. Remarkably that is progress, as it represents a 13% fall since 2006/7. Much of the food that is thrown away is edible, and it is a major source of wasted money for consumers, greenhouse gas emissions and water waste.
You can learn more about reducing food waste on the West London Waste Authority web site.
