Steps to Recycle Your Food Waste Better
Too Much
Food waste can make up half of the contents of a waste bin.
More Potent
When food scraps end up in landfill it produces methane. If this gas is not captured, a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than CO2 is released.
Contamination
Food and liquids can't go in the recycling bin - it ruins the recycling process.

Check what food you already have.
Plan your meals for the week.
Make a shopping list and stick to it.
02 REUSE
Make lunch from leftovers.
Freeze fruit for smoothies.
Freeze veggie scraps for homemade snacks.
03 RECYCLE
