A recipe that could save food – and your money
We throw away 8.3m tonnes of food and drink per year in the UK.
Most of this (5.3m tonnes) could have been consumed.
This is at a cost of £12bn and equates to £480 per year for the average household, rising to around £680 per year for families with children, or £50 a month. If we stopped wasting all this food and drink, it would save the equivalent of at least 20 million tonnes of carbon dioxide. That is the equivalent of taking one in four cars off UK roads.
