According to the data published this year, an average of 108 grams of waste was generated per consumer, which represents a 7% decrease compared to 2021 and a more than 20% decrease compared to 2019.
A positive trend can be observed in all segments, the most spectacular results can be seen in community catering, where the amount of food waste has decreased by 35% in the last 3 years.
