How are you handling food waste?
- Food waste is considered the main cause of global warming,
- and 8% of total carbon emissions come from food waste.
-
One-third of all food is discharged as food waste.
The amount of food waste thrown away annually is 931 million tons, and each person creates about 121 kg of waste. Korea generates 130 kg of food waste, which is more than average for reasons such as eating main food (rice) with side dishes.
- Reduced food waste reduces disposal
costs by KRW 160 billion annually, - Energy savings generate economic benefits of up to 5 trillion won.
