In 2020, nearly a quarter (24%) of the weight of Hertfordshire’s refuse bins was avoidable food waste – thrown away even though it was still edible.
This has a huge impact on the environment, contributing to 10% of total greenhouse gas emissions.
It also significantly harms your bank balance – the average UK family could save £720 per year by reducing food waste.
This short survey is to help understand why edible food is thrown away and help fight back against food waste.
