Key takeaways
♻️ Avg food waste ~1.1 kg/household/week, but ranges ~0.5–0.6 to ~1.8 kg/week by segment.
🌱 Disposal routes matter (brown bin, composting, general waste) → supports targeted actions aligned with SDG 12.3 & Ireland’s circular economy goals.

New post on diets and consumer choice! 🥦
If consumers are confused and vary in what influences their purchases, "better information" isn't enough. We need targeted communications and environments that make sustainable, healthy choices easier, clearer, and more actionable for different groups.
We had a fantastic time at “The Circular Shift: Transforming Waste into a Bio-based Economy” on October 17th at Maynooth University, part of Bioeconomy Ireland Week 2025, thank you to all attendees and collaborators! 🌿

🗓️🏷️ Why does understanding date labels matter?
In the EU, up to 10% of food waste comes from confusion about food dates. By knowing the difference, you can plan meals, store food correctly, and make better decisions.
