Together We Can Fight Food Waste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ecobuddy Project has a mission to help reduce Food Waste on the K\u0101piti coast. New Zealand families throw out about $560 worth of food each year \u2013 that’s three shopping trolleys full. This equates to $3.2 billion of perfectly good wasted food nationally. As a country, we throw out 157,389 tonnes every year \u2013 enough food to feed everyone in K\u0101piti for nearly eight years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On average, half of what we put in our rubbish bins in K\u0101piti each week is food and garden waste (as found in KCDC’s solid waste <\/a>survey). Over 4,600 tonnes of food is sent to the landfill annually in K\u0101piti alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When food and garden waste end up in landfill it rots, rather than composting. This produces harmful methane gas (a potent greenhouse gas), and all the goodness of the food and garden waste is lost in the sealed landfill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
