Waste less bread and pasta

What we find interesting: In the Netherlands, an average of 6.2 kg of bread and pasta is wasted per person each year. That's 3.5 slices per person, per week.

A lot of bread is thrown away because it's old or moldy, because it's not stored properly, or because too much is bought.

With pasta, it's due to cooking too large portions, which often results in leftovers being thrown away. Measuring the correct amount before cooking can significantly reduce this waste.



3 more reasons to waste less bread and pasta:

• Food waste is responsible for 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Help the climate by reducing food waste.
• By using bread and pasta more consciously, you'll need to buy new products less often. This can save you a significant amount of money annually.
• By being more mindful of your food, you'll become more creative in the kitchen. You can make croutons, French toast, or bread pudding from stale bread, for example, and leftover pasta is perfect for a salad or omelet.
