Food wasted in Brent at 50 tonnes per day

In Britain we throw away over eight million tonnes of food each year, with Christmas one of the top triggers for over-shopping. On Monday 22 November Willesden Green Library will host ‘Love Food, Hate Waste' to help people save money by wasting less food this Christmas and New Year.

In Brent, food waste accounts for 18 per cent of total waste, that's 18,720 tonnes of food waste annually; around 50 tonnes every day.

Since ‘Love Food, Hate Waste' launched in November 2007, more than two million people have made changes to the way they shop, prepare, store and use food. The scheme also reduces the amount of material going to landfill saving local authorities at least £22 million in landfill charges.

Councillor James Powney, Lead Member for Environment and Planning, said: "We can all save money and reduce waste by not buying more than we need and taking more care over what we throw away. Use-by dates should always be observed. However, date marks such as 'display until' or 'sell by' often appear near the 'best before' or 'use by' date. The former are used by shops to help with stock control and are instructions for staff, not guidance for shoppers.

"So this year don't buy more food than you need in the first place. Don't bin food items that are still OK to eat and use your freezer to preserve food approaching its ‘sell by' date rather than throwing it away."

Over the past three years 670,000 tonnes (that's over £1.5 billion) of food waste has been diverted from landfill and the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions is approximately three million tonnes. Research suggests £12 billion worth of food and drink waste could be avoided each year through better use of fridges and freezers.
