7.7 million meals
Australian households throw
away the equivalent of 7.7 million
meals every day.
256kg per home
Each household wastes 256kg of food a
year — adding up to 2.5 million tonnes
nationally. More food is wasted in homes
than anywhere else along the supply chain.
$2,500 wasted
Food waste costs the average household
over $2,500 a year. Without realising, we’re
wasting twice as much as we think.
