Why be involved

Food waste is a bigger problem than you may think. Did you know NSW households and businesses throw away more than $10 billion worth of edible food each year?

When food decomposes in landfill it releases methane, a greenhouse gas that is at least 28 times more harmful than carbon dioxide. Not only that, when you discard produce you also waste the natural resources like water and energy that go into growing, packaging, producing, transporting, selling and preparing food.

By reducing food waste, you’ll be taking action on climate change.

What you can expect
