Household food and drink waste in the UK

4.2m tonnes

Household food and drink waste

All types of food and

drink are thrown away.

The most prominent by

weight are:

Fresh vegetables

drink

fresh fruit

bakery

EACH DAY in the UK, we throw away

around…

1.4m

bananas

1.5m

sausages

1.1m

eggs

5.8m

potatoes

The average home throws away 260 kg of

food and drink per year

5kgs per week

110kg per person, per

year

Environmental Impact

Producing, storing and transporting

food to us uses up a lot of energy

and resources

The equivalent of 17 million tonnes

of carbon dioxide per year

If we were to stop wasting food it would be the

equivalent of taking 1 in 4 cars off UK roads

Environmental Impact

Sending food to landfill generates methane which

is one of the most harmful greenhouse gases

UK householders are throwing away £12.5 billion

worth of good food and drink every year.

£470 per household per year

£700 per household with children

Financial impact

£290 per single person household

Savings of up to £60 a month

Practical Tips and Advice

How many £££ have you invested in food

in your kitchen ?

£30 £50

£150

£100 £80

£125 £200 £300

Take a considered guess about how

much money you have spent on the

food stored in your kitchen cupboards,

fridge and freezer ? Then go home

and really count it all up….

Keeping a food diary

• A good starting point to help us identify

if we can make savings / reduce waste

• Reveals patterns and may help us

target our efforts at the most effective

means of changing our behaviour.

Activities

Lovely leftovers

It pays to plan

Know your dates

Savvy storage

The freezer is your friend

Fresher for longer

Perfect portions

Making the most of the food and drink you

buy and grow

To summarise ….

Check with your local council for more details on your

local service

What are others doing?

The Hospitality and Food Service

Agreement (HaFS)?

A voluntary agreement between WRAP and the

HaFS industry to support the sector in reducing

waste and recycling more

Recommendations

Smaller portion sizes for lower price – choice of

portion sizes

Menu choice – swap chips for potatoes, salad for

vegetables etc.

Staff training – train front of house staff so they

can talk to customers with confidence
