HelloFresh has pulled some key food-waste facts together to help you reduce your carbon footprint by creating homemade sandwiches instead of buying them from a shop.
With around 9.5 million tonnes of food wasted each year in the UK, HelloFresh have found that making your own sandwiches at home can greatly reduce your carbon footprint.
According to a study by researchers at the University of Manchester in 2018, the average carbon footprint of a home-made ham & cheese is around two times lower than that of a ready-made equivalent bought from a shop.
HelloFresh Recipe Development Manager Mimi Morley said: “Homemade sandwiches not only allow you to switch it up with flavours and fillings, and create your favourite sandwiches, but they also allow you to reduce your carbon footprint.
“Rather than opting for a meal-deal every day why not try recreating sandwiches at home. Not only does it help towards saving the planet, but it will also help you save money.”
