Another step towards sustainability: Hungarian households waste less and less food
We waste 24 kg of food per person every year, according to the fourth waste assessment of the No Leftovers program. The results of the survey, which took place in a record number of more than 500 households, show that food scraps, vegetables and fruits, as well as baked goods continue to be thrown unnecessarily into the trash.
Based on the latest data, Hungarian households have taken another significant step towards sustainability, as food waste has decreased by 27% since 2016. Since 2016, Nébih’s No Leftovers program has been assessing – based on EU methodology – the amount of food waste and its distribution in Hungarian households. The first data showed a “production” of 68 kg of food waste per capita, which has since decreased by 12%, to 59.9 kg, according to the fourth survey in the fall of 2022.
The actual waste in 2016 was about half of all food waste: 33.1 kg. The amount of food thrown away unnecessarily has decreased to 24 kg since the start of the program, which represents a 27% reduction.
