"Each year, Australian households discard about 2.5 million tonnes of food.
Most (73%) of this food waste ends up in landfill.
This is costly and contributes to escalating greenhouse gas emissions, because
food waste rotting in landfill produces methane. So reducing household food
waste and diverting it from landfill saves money, improves food security and
benefits the environment.
To address the problem, we need to understand how people generate and dispose
of food waste. In our new study, we found households fell into three categories
– based on the amount of food wasted, how much of that waste was avoidable and
how it was sorted. These insights into consumer behaviour point to where the
most worthwhile improvements can be made."
