Ever found yourself opening the fridge, finding uneaten food that’s gone bad, and throwing it away? Do you feel that you might be doing this more than you should?

You’re not alone. Statistics say the average Australian discards about 312 kilograms of food items every year. Collectively, food waste costs our national economy more than $36 billion per year, it contributes to 3% of our country’s greenhouse gas emissions.

This week, we explore why it’s important for business leaders, sustainability managers and clued-in consumers like you and me to understand the full impact of food waste on the world around us.

We’ll talk about how businesses can start reducing food waste across their supply chain and track their performance, plus what government frameworks are available to help guide progress in the right direction.

Also, what clued-in consumers like you and me can do every day, to try and reduce our individual waste footprint at home.

The Spotlight Series brings you weekly, bite-sized updates and expert insight on sustainability transformation, brought to you by the team behind Sustainability Tracker together with Edge Impact.

Hosted by Kiarne Treacy, one of Australia’s leading expert voices in helping make sustainability simpler for businesses and consumers.
