By the end of #FoodWasteActionWeek2026, an average household of four will have already thrown away £200 worth of food they could have eaten.

Every year, 4.4 million tonnes of edible food is thrown away from UK homes, generating 16 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. The total cost of food waste is a staggering £17 billion per year which is £1,000 a year for an average household of four.

On average, a person in the UK wastes food equivalent to 3 meals per week. What we waste as a nation per year would fill Wembley Stadiums 8 times over and the Royal Albert Hall 88 times.

We're determined to change the perception that #FoodWaste is inevitable and help all of us embrace the many benefits of making the most of the food we buy.

By using our precious resources more intelligently we can create a world with higher standards of living — tackling climate change, protecting nature, and reducing inequality.

Today is the start of Food Waste Action Week 2026, the UK’s flagship annual food waste reduction event, delivered by Love Food Hate Waste.

Our latest survey data shows that almost two thirds of people in the UK agree that some food waste at home is inevitable and that there’s little they can do to avoid it.

Love Food Hate Waste is determined to change this perception, and Food Waste Action Week is setting the nation a five-day challenge to take food waste off the menu and enjoy the unexpected benefits of making the most of the food you buy.

This year, the campaign will coincide with the roll out of Simpler Recycling in England. From 31st March, approximately 4 in 5 homes in England will be able to have food waste collected on a weekly basis and recycled into organic material, to help produce electricity and biomethane gas.

By using our precious resources more intelligently we can create a world with higher standards of living — tackling climate change, protecting nature, and reducing inequality.

From 31 March the new Simpler Recycling legislation will roll out across England. This is the biggest, most ambitious waste policy change in England for twenty years. It will make recycling simpler and more convenient for millions of people – including the introduction of separate #FoodWaste collection as standard.

Food waste is a huge environmental and social issue – globally food waste produces more emissions than all commercial flights and costs an average UK household of four £1,000 per year.

Wokingham Borough Council explain what will happen to your food waste once it is collected.

We worked with government to shape many of these improvements and continue to work with hundreds of councils to support them in introducing these changes.

Our Recycle Now Recycling Locator will tell you exactly what can be collected at your kerbside, and how to dispose of common items found around the house and garden: https://t.co/w38KGr633d

By using our precious resources more intelligently we can create a world with higher standards of living — tackling climate change, protecting nature, and reducing inequality.
