Newsroom Special - Stop Food Waste

5 minutes | Wednesday, 1 May 2019

However, in an era where it seems like every possible step is taken to be environmentally and financially friendly, the UK still throws away an average £494 million worth of food each week, according to new research from recipe box company Gousto.

Stop Food Waste day took place on Wednesday 24 April, an awareness campaign that seeks to address this issue.

Professor of Sustainable Waste Management Margaret Bates joined us on the day itself to share her advice.
