in numbers

130,000 tonnes of waste are sent to landfill every year in Scotland by the hospitality sector

53,500 tonnes of that is food waste

150,000 of CO2 emissions could be saved if the avoidable food waste was prevented and unavoidable food waste recycled

£1bn worth of food is wasted by consumers in Scotland each year – an average of £430 per household

£64m could be saved annually by preventing food waste and increased recycling
