- Every year 18 million tonnes of edible food end up in landfill.
- Approx 1/3 from producers/ supply chain, 1/3 from retail and 1/3 from households
- Annual value : £23 BILLION [and rising rapidly due to soaring prices]
- Massive environmental damage and landfill costs to dispose
- Disposal costs to business passed on to consumers in higher prices, landfill costs in local taxes – less income
