Are you wasting more than you think?
Are you wasting more than you think?
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.
