Food waste

Ever­y­day about 20 mil­li­on slices of bread are thrown away in UK homes. This could have been break­fast for 10 mil­li­on people. And, laid end-​to-​end, the bread waste of 365 days could cir­cle the Earth 28 times!



Around 3 mil­li­on glas­ses of milk are chu­cked away in the UK each day. This means that, every year, 36,500 cows are pro­du­cing milk that is going down the drain.



At least one-​third of all edi­ble food pro­du­ced across the world is never eaten – enough food to feed 2 bil­li­on people. That’s just over a quar­ter of the world’s po­pu­la­ti­on!

When we waste food, we waste all the en­er­gy and re­sour­ces that go into pro­du­cing. This is bad for our en­vi­ron­ment.
