Donating can help changing a life

Food Waste in UK

  • A third of all food produced globally is thrown away

  • The UK wastes approximately 9.52 million tonnes of food every year.

  • This total is enough to feed upwards of 30 million people a year, yet 8.4 million live in food poverty in the UK

  • WRAP estimates that 70% of food waste comes from households (6.7 million tonnes), 16% from manufacturers, 12% from hospitality and food services, and 2% from the retail industry.

  • 6.4 million tonnes (67%) of this wasted food could have been eaten! In UK households, it’s estimated that this number climbs to as high as 70%.

  • The value of food wasted by UK households each year is estimated to be around £14 billion.

  • The average household spends £470 on food that ends up in the bin every year.

  • The UK produces the largest amount of food waste in Europe

  • The hospitality and food service sector (including restaurants, hotels, and catering) generates around 920,000 tonnes of food waste annually.

  • The retail sector in the UK contributes around 270,000 tonnes of food waste each year, with supermarkets being a major source.

  • Only 7% of the total food surplus in the UK retail and manufacturing sectors is currently being redistributed.

  • Food waste in the UK generates approximately 25 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually, contributing to climate change.

  • On average, each person in the UK wastes around 70 kg of food per year, which is equivalent to 140 meals.

  • The UK government has set a target to reduce food waste by 20% by 2025 and WRAP wants to get to 50% by 2030.
