According to WRAP research, 7.1 million tonnes of food is
wasted by households in a year in the UK alone. Of the 7.1 million tonnes of
food that end up in trash cans, nearly 70% of the food is edible. Not just food
wastes, but packaging wastes is another major massive problem today. The amount
of food packaging that ends up in landfills in the UK has increased by 446,000
tonnes since 2013 – that is a 15% increase.
Today's consumers are indeed environmentally conscious
compared to previous generations. But, most people stop with just segregating
household trash, hoping that the waste they have generated will mysteriously
disappear.
