Food Waste Action Week. Buy Loose, Waste Less

Love Food Hate Waste says ‘We buy a bag of potatoes. We eat half the bag. The rest? They end up in the bin. It’s an all too familiar pattern happening in kitchens across the UK. And it is crazy that the packaging makes us buy more than we need’.

Their research shows that if all apples, bananas and potatoes were sold loose instead of in bags sold by weight, we could save 60,000 tonnes of food each year. That’s 8.2 million shopping baskets!
