Did you know that food waste contributes to a staggering 6% of global greenhouse emissions? 😳

Here are five easy steps to help cut down on food waste right in your kitchen!

Meal Prep Magic: Get ahead by planning your meals for the week. Crafting a shopping list and sticking to it can help you avoid impulse buys and minimise food waste.

Store Smartly: Keep fruits, veggies, and perishables fresh longer. Try using airtight containers, store items at the ideal temperature, and learn which foods should be stored separately to prevent spoilage.

Love Leftovers: Leftovers aren't just thrifty, they're delicious! Embrace your creativity by incorporating leftovers into new recipes, reducing the urge to throw away excess food.

Get To Know Food Labels: Get savvy about those "best before" and "use by" dates. Remember, "best before" means it's about quality, and "use by" indicates safety. Consuming food past its "best before" date is often perfectly fine and minimises waste.

Composting Brilliance: Divert food scraps from landfills by starting a home compost bin. Our Open Top Steel Drums make an excellent choice to kickstart your composting journey. Compost enriches your soil for gardening and helps reduce methane emissions from decomposing organic matter.

There you have it, five simple ways to cut down on food waste right at home!
