Food Waste Action Week

Make your food go fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurther

For your pocket. For our planet

This year we are supporting Love Food Hate Waste’s Food Waste Action Week campaign.

By preventing food waste, using up leftovers, and recycling anything that can’t be eaten, we can unlock more value from the food we already have by helping it to stretch further.

Every day, UK households throw away 4.4 million tonnes of edible food - worth a staggering £17.5 billion. That's an average of £1,000 wasted per household of four every year. At a time when the cost of living continues to squeeze family budgets and climate pressures intensify, reducing food waste is one of the fastest, simplest ways to save money and protect the planet.

60% of food waste happens in our homes - creating 16 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually. From bread and milk to fresh vegetables and leftovers, the food we buy with the best intentions often ends up in the bin. But it doesn't have to be this way.
