There are many challenges to be tackled at the moment, and one of the most important is what we put in our bins. We’re much, much better at recycling, but in the UK, food waste is something we really need to do something about.

We are by far the worst offenders in Europe, throwing away 9.5 million tonnes of food each year. And as this food degrades in landfill sites, it releases methane gas which contributes to global warming.
