Tesco cuts emissions by more than 89,000 ton of food waste

It is not surprising, then, that 8% of global greenhouse gas production is caused by food that lands in rubbish. Tesco is committed to combating food waste on the road from farm to table, and in 2017 it was the first retailer in Central Europe to release a report on the amount of surplus food generated by its operations.

Since then, the supermarket chain has reduced its food waste by 68% in Hungary, contributing 89,590 to reducing emissions.
