How much good

food is thrown away


every year around the
world?
Answer

1.3 billion tons


of good food end up in the garbage every
year, almost 35% of the entire production!

The staggering amount of food waste would fit into


23 million fully-loaded 40-tonne trucks. And if these
trucks are lined up bumper-to-bumper, then the
queue would be long enough to circle the Earth seven
times.
