This National Stop Food Waste Day, 1st March, we're inviting everyone to take the Challenge to record their food waste for one week to identify what types of food they waste the most.
By knowing what food we waste the most, we will see where we can make savings on our food bill and can take action! We ask you to support Stop Food Waste Day 2023 by promoting the Stop Food Waste Challenge around your workplace, with your customers, networks and with your followers on social media.
About the Stop Food Waste Day Challenge
The EPA’s Stop Food Waste programme is the national food waste prevention campaign, providing guidance and resources to help people reduce and manage their food waste. The EPA are running the National Stop Food Waste Awareness Day on 1st March, with the message ‘Know Your Food Waste’ to make people aware that:
• By knowing what food you waste the most, you can make savings on your food bill.
• Bread, fruit and vegetables are the food wasted most often in Ireland.
• There are easy steps we can all take to stop food waste.
On Stop Food Waste Day, 1st March, we're inviting everyone to record their food waste for one week to identify what types of food they waste most. To record the food that goes into their food bin, you could:
• Keep a pen and pad by the food waste bin to take note each time you use it.
• Keep track of what you waste on your phone using the notes app.
• Use our Weekly Food Waste Recording Sheet to note what food goes in your food waste bin. Stop Food Waste Record Sheet
At the end of the week, participants will tally up their results and see which types of food they wasted the most. By knowing what food they waste the most, they will see where they can make savings on their food bill and take action
