I would like to know what amount of waste is created per person here, excluding the food service and tourism sector. The article says almost 300kg per capita but that includes all sectors of food waste which is a misleading number. I imagine hotels especially waste sooo much food everyday with their buffets everyday its ridiculous. I wouldnt be surprised if all things considered, cypriots (persons) would be on the lower end of the demographic.
Anyway, if you have the ability and space, i’d suggest having a small compost bin, you can throw your food waste in there (excluding meats, dairy, eggs, oils, cooked foods) and help the environment a little. After some time you get compost for your garden or plants which is a nice bonus 🙂

Case 1: During covid many food companies were giving the left over food from lunch to people in need for free. Now it stopped and they prefer to throw food away because of “liability”.
Case 2: Catering business was hired and paid to give food to Pournara. Almost all of the food was thrown in the bins because they didn’t want them.
Not to mention food waste from hotels, especially the ones that offer “all-inclusive” packages so people don’t care how much they put on their plates. Imagine throwing away untouched food because someone filled 3 plates and barely touched one of them.
I’m not saying that individual people don’t waste food, but not as much as some industries IMO.

It is not waste if the cats eat it! 😉
