come on Australia, let's be Saveful

83% of Australians are worried about the rising cost of groceries. Meanwhile, food waste costs the Australian economy around $36.6 billion each year.

70% of food binned by Australians is perfectly edible.

About 2,600 Gigalitres of water is used to grow food that isn’t used. That’s the volume of 5 Sydney Harbours.

The world has realised our food choices impact more than just our waistline 

Throwing away one burger wastes the same amount of water as a 90-minute shower. 

Food waste produces 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. If food waste was a country it would be the 3rd largest greenhouse gas emitter, behind the USA and China.

Over a billion tonnes (33%) of the world's food is wasted.
