Christmas is a time where many people indulge in delicious food - when there are pigs and blankets available and Yule log, it's a given. But unfortunately, some Brits overestimate just how many seasonal supplies they need, leading to a huge amount of food waste during the festive season. Shockingly, over a third of people admit that they waste more during the Christmas period.
In December alone, almost 270,000 tonnes of food waste ends up in landfill, not to mention the money you'll be wasting on delicious food you're not even able to enjoy. According to Commercial Waste, approximately two million turkeys, 74 million mince pies, and 5 million Christmas puddings are wasted each year in the UK - despite the fact they're still edible.
