22.01.2022 Let’s think about food waste this #WorldFoodDay. Victorian households throw out 250,000 tonnes of edible food every year, enough to fill the Eureka Tower! All Victorian councils are moving towards providing food waste recycling by 2030 under #RecyclingVictoria, in the meantime, there’s plenty we can do to make sure we’re wasting as little food as possible from meal planning, to thoughtful storage and home composting. We have tips on home food waste reduction and a map of where compost made from household food waste is already being put to good use: https://backtoearth.vic.gov.au.
