Our impact

Total food saved

Data from 2010 – 2021. We use WRAP’s figure of the potential saving in emissions generated by using food that would otherwise go to waste versus the production of additional food. This does not take into account CO₂ emissions generated if a vehicle used to deliver/collect the food donation.
