Europe wastes 88 million tons of food a year
The EU-funded project FUSIONS, in which the Hungarian Food Bank Association also participates presented the new estimates on the amount of food waste that is thrown away in the EU 28.
According to the new calculations every person in the EU throws away 173 kilogrammes of food per year, on average. This means that one fifth of all the food produced for the EU ends up as waste. This includes both edible and non-edible food, such as orange peel. Of the total 88 million tons of food waste that is thrown away each year, households account for the largest contribution (47 million tonnes). The total cost of our food waste is estimated to roughly 143 billion euros.
