At least one billion meals of edible food are being wasted every day in households worldwide. That’s enough to provide one meal per day to every single person impacted by hunger in the world. When we throw away food, all the energy and resources that went into making it go to waste too, and the environmental impact, such as greenhouse gas emissions, still occurs, but the food provides no nourishment to anyone. Therefore, EU waste management policies aim to reduce the environmental and health impacts of waste.
