Reducing food waste is about building simple habits. The reward is: ✔ Less food wasted. ✔ More money is saved. ✔ Smarter food management at home. These mall actions repeated over time can make a big difference. #FoodWasteActionWeek #WasteLessSaveMore #LoveFoodHateWaste #CGCSA #SAFLWI #WRAP

Step 3 of Food Waste Action Week: Compost what you can’t eat. When food waste decomposes in a landfill, it releases methane, a powerful heat-trapping gas that contributes to climate change. Waste also takes up space in landfill sites that are already under pressure as they fill up. These simple actions can help: 🥕 Compost fruit and veg scraps. ♻️ Separate organic waste where possible. 🌍 Keep food out of the rubbish bin. Prevent waste, use leftovers, and compost the rest. #FoodWasteActionWeek #PreventUseRecycle #WasteLessSaveMore #LoveFoodHateWasteZA #SAFLWI #WRAP #CGCSA

The easiest way to prevent waste is to use what you already have. Leftovers aren’t the end of a meal, they’re the start of the next one. Stretch ingredients into second (or even third) meals and make your groceries go further. 👉 Download the Leftover Inspiration Guide and start using what’s already in your fridge: bit.ly/46SeM4f #FoodWasteActionWeek #PreventUseRecycle #LoveYourLeftovers #WasteLessSaveMore #CGCSA #SAFLWI #WRAP @WRAP_NGO

Step 1 of Food Waste Action Week: Prevent waste before it starts. Most food waste happens because we overbuy, forget what we have, or store food incorrectly. The good news? Small habits can reduce waste immediately and save money. ✔ Plan meals before you shop ✔ Check your fridge first ✔ Store food properly When you prevent waste, you protect your wallet and reduce harmful gases released when food rots in a landfill. Small steps really do make a difference.
