Simple ways to reduce waste at home​

Tips for reducing food waste​

Plan your shop and cook your plan ​

Planning your meals or snacks for the week can not only save time but can save on food waste too. ​Remember, before you shop, check the ingredients you already have or plan your meals to use what’s in your pantry, fridge or freezer.​

Save some for later​​

Leftovers can make great lunches – so, get smart about storing them. A leak-proof lunch box can give you a cheap and tasty lunch on the go the next day.​​

Clip it up and pop it in the freezer​

A simple sealing clip can help to reduce the amount of wasted food in your everyday life. Many foods come in larger packages than we need. So, when you don’t need to use it all at one time, seal it up to help keep it fresh or freeze it for later. ​

Make food go further​​

Have too much fruit and veg? Why not preserve them? Try making jams, pickles and chutneys and store them in glass jars or freeze them for smoothies. Also, vegetable peels are perfect for broths, soups and stews.

Tips for reducing food waste​

Plan, shop, cook, and prep for the whole week​

You can save time by batch cooking and sorting, using freezer-to-oven containers to make leftovers as easy as possible. After all, doesn’t a meal just taste better when it’s already cooked?​

Make it clear to prioritize

​With transparent food containers, you can easily see what to eat first. To prolong freshness, you can arrange the fridge shelves based on the different temperature zones and how fast certain foods will spoil.​

See it, use it​

Storing your food in clear glass containers on open shelves makes it easy to see what you have. Saving you time when planning food, as well as reducing the chances of buying something you already have.​

Save some for later​

Get smart about storing your leftovers. Clear containers and jars let you see what you really have, while a portable and leak-proof lunch box can give you a cheap and tasty lunch on the go. ​

Clip it up and pop it in the freezer

​A sealing clip can help to reduce the amount of wasted food in your everyday life. It may seem small, but it’s a household superhero that makes it easier to save leftovers and keep food fresh for longer. ​

Make food go further​

Don’t bin excess fruit and vegetables – preserve them. Try making jams, pickles, and chutneys and store them in glass jars. Also, vegetable peels are perfect for broths, soups, and stews.​

Get your waste sorting sorted​​

Sorting is easier if each type of recyclable material has a dedicated container – either freestanding or built into a larger solution. Less waste to landfill, and a tidier home to boot.​

Recycle in the bathroom​

For many, the bathroom is a difficult place to keep on top of. Gather up empty shower bottles, toilet paper rolls and toothpaste tubes, as soon as you finish them. More recycling means a tidier bathroom.​

Recycle in every room​

Setting up a recycling solution in every room makes sense. The closer a bin is to where you are, the more likely you are to use it. Involve the whole family while you’re at it!​

Don’t throw it all away​

Waste isn’t always waste. Try growing seeds in old egg boxes or using newspaper as gift-wrap, for instance. Think outside the box, and think circular – how else could it be used?​
