Food Waste: Amount Thrown Away Totals 900 Million Tonnes

AMMAN, March 5  — More than 900 million tonnes of food is thrown away every year, according to a global report.

The UN Environment Programme’s Food Waste Index revealed that 17 per cent of the food available to consumers – in shops, households and restaurants – goes directly into the bin, according to Petra.

Some 60 per cent of that waste is in the home.

The lockdown appears to have had a surprising impact – at least in the UK – by reducing domestic food waste.
