Stop Food Waste Day

Today marks Stop Food Waste Day – the world's largest single day of action in the fight against global food waste, held annually on the 29th of April.

At Brindleyplace, we work with our waste partner, Greenzone, to support our businesses in fighting food waste.

Did you know?

  • At least 1.3 billion tonnes of food waste is thrown away globally every year – that’s roughly ⅓ of all food produced!
  • Just in the UK alone, £21.8 billion worth of edible food is wasted every year — enough to feed millions across the country.
  • If food waste were a country, it would be the 3rd largest emitter of greenhouse gases, producing more emissions than most nations.
