Reducing food waste at home starts with smart planning and thoughtful habits.

Plan meals ahead, buy only what you truly need, and store food properly so it lasts longer.

Use leftovers creatively, freeze extra portions, and check your fridge regularly so nothing gets forgotten.

Try “first in, first out” when organizing your shelves and give new life to ingredients by turning them into soups, smoothies, or snacks.

Small daily changes can make a big difference—and help us protect the planet.

Easy Ways to Reduce Food Waste

1. Only buy what you need-A short shopping list helps a lot!

2. Check your fridge before shopping-Maybe the food you need is already there.

3. Use older food first-Keep older items in front so you don’t forget them.

4. Freeze leftovers-It’s like saving food for later!

5. Turn leftovers into something new-Leftover veggies = soup, omelette, pizza toppings.
Ripe fruit = smoothie or fruit salad.

6. Keep food in the right place-Some foods last longer in the fridge, others in a cool, dry cupboard.

7. Don’t get confused by dates-“Best before” usually means the food is still okay.

8. Use apps that save food-Some apps help reduce waste in your community.

9. Compost fruit and veggie scraps- Great for plants and the environment!

1. Plan Your Meals Write a weekly meal plan and shop with a list. This prevents buying unnecessary items.

2. Store Food Smartly Keep your fridge organized. Place older items at the front so you use them first.

3. Understand Expiry Labels “Best before” means quality, not safety. Many foods are still fine after this date.

4. Get Creative With Leftovers Transform leftover veggies into soups or stir■fries. Freeze surplus portions for later.

5. Compost When Possible Turn unavoidable scraps into nutrient-rich compost for your plants.

Tricks and Tips – How to Reduce Food Waste in Our Households

1. Plan Your Meals 🍽️

Make a weekly shopping list and stick to it.

Check your fridge and pantry before buying new groceries.

2. Store Food Properly 🥦

Keep fruits and vegetables in the right conditions (fridge or countertop).

Use airtight containers for leftovers to make them last longer.

3. Use Leftovers Creatively 🍲

Transform leftover vegetables into soups or stir-fries.

Reuse stale bread for croutons or breadcrumbs.

4. Understand Expiration Dates ⏰

“Best before” ≠ “bad after.” Trust your senses — smell, look, and taste.

Freeze food if you can’t eat it in time.

5. Serve Smaller Portions 🍛

Take smaller amounts first, go back for seconds if still hungry.

Helps avoid uneaten food being thrown away.

6. Compost Food Scraps 🌱

Turn vegetable peels and fruit cores into compost instead of trash.

Plan Meals: Before shopping, check your pantry/fridge and plan meals based on what you already have and what you need.

Make a List: Stick to a shopping list to avoid impulse buys that might spoil before you can eat them.

Understand Dates: Learn the difference between "Sell By," "Best By," and "Use By". Most food is safe to eat well past the "Best By" date. Use your senses!

Proper Storage: Store fruits and vegetables correctly. For example, don't store apples or bananas near other produce, as they release gasses that cause faster ripening.

Love Leftovers: Portion meals smarter or immediately pack leftovers into clear, labeled containers and plan to eat them the next day.

Compost Scraps: Use a countertop bin for fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, and eggshells, and start a compost pile or use a local composting service.
