Why it matters

1/3 of all food produced is wasted

Food waste

1.3 billion tons of food is wasted, of which 14% comes from the food service industry e.g., catering, hotels and restaurants.

CO2 emissions

If food waste was a country it would rank 3rd in greenhouse gas emissions. When edible food is wasted, it has already used many resources in production, packaging, transport and preparation.

Water usage

7.000 liters of water go into producing 1kg of food on average. Agriculture is already the world’s biggest user of freshwater so imagine all the water wasted in food that never reaches our plate.

Financial impact

Wasting food is a waste of money. 1kg of food typically costs 4 euros based on the average market food cost.
