That's less than a kilo a week, say 120 g per person per day.
In my household I suspect that most of that is potato peelings, onion skins, orange, apple, and banana peel, teabags, etc.
If you drink tea five times a day you have 10 g of teabags.
So, what is the definition of food waste? If it is food that could be eaten then in my household of four people it is very close to zero. But still the kitchen compost bin is always full.
- airstrike 8y ago> If you drink tea five times a day you have 10 g of teabags. Who drinks tea five times a day??
- namarie 8y agoLots of people.
- nicoburns 8y agoYou are clearly not from the UK! I know lot's of people who have 8-12 cups of tea a day (this is on the higher end, but not super unusual...)
- dyarosla 8y agoOr Russia, or India, or...
- BuildTheRobots 8y agoGood point - it's an entirely unrealistic number. It's just hit 1pm and I'm on my 6th already.
- village-idiot 8y agoA fairly large portion of the world’s population?
- lostlogin 8y agoCoffee drinking adds up too. 3 coffees per day, 20g per coffee. Once you add in the extra coffee at weekends and visitors, it’s 30+ kgs of grounds per year. The garden seem to like them though.
