Irish households waste €700 euro of food every year

Irish households waste about 700 euro worth of food every year, according to the EPA.

It's released a new report, detailing Ireland's waste trends in 2020.

It found waste generation continues to increase, jumping from over 12 million tonnes to 16 million tonnes in less than a decade.

While households are still generating too much waste, the commercial sector - especially construction - remains the biggest culprit.
