Food waste is embarrassingly high in the UK, with 9.5m tonnes binned every year, according to Business Waste.
While most of us mean well, cramming fresh fruit and vegetables into kitchen bowls and the fridge’s crisper drawer, the reality of busy work and social lives means healthy eating and good intentions don’t always go to plan. Food becomes mouldy and gets thrown out while we resolve to try harder in the next weekly shop. And so, the wasteful cycle continues.
