Here's how much food we are throwing away each year as exact cost revealed

Every Irish person throws an average of €660 into the bin each year in wasted food – more than enough to feed someone for a month, new research shows. And it's younger people who are the worst offenders, tossing twice as much good food away as the over-55s. The average Irish shopper is believed to waste approximately 10% of their food, with younger people admitting wasting as much as 14% compared the over-55s at just 7%. Pic: Getty Images Surprisingly, more than a quarter of 18- to 24-year-olds say they are unaware of the impact such waste has on the environment, according to the new research from BWG Foods. And it's the adults who feel guilty about wasting, at 83%, while younger people are less likely to express any guilt. The research also found that 81% of shoppers overall actively try to limit food waste to reduce their environmental impact, but just 72% of the 18-24 age group do the same, indicating a broader and more worrying trend among Gen Z shoppers. Pic: Getty Images Some 85% of shoppers try to limit their food waste as a means of managing their food costs. Similarly, 72% of shoppers have been motivated to reduce their food waste because of rising food costs in recent years. Considering that a typical single person spends an average of €6,600 a year on food, the waste of 10% of this food means they are losing up to €660 annually. Megan Kelly of BWG Foods, which operates Spar, Eurospar, Mace, Londis and XL shops, said: 'Food waste is a double negative, representing a very significant financial loss to the consumer while at the same time massively impacting the environment with food loss and wastage now accounting for up to 10% of total Co2 emissions. 'Growing, processing and ­transporting food uses a huge amount of resources, such as land, water, energy and fertiliser, meaning when food is wasted, these resources are too. 'Fortunately, solutions are gathering significant pace and we can combat this major challenge by empowering consumers to reduce their food waste while also increasing the redistribution of food that is destined for waste.' Around 100 Spar, Eurospar, Mace, Londis and XL shops have signed up to the Too Good To Go scheme, to resell surplus food at half price in 'Surprise Bags'. Ms Kelly added: 'Too Good To Go has quickly emerged as a meaningfully effective platform for reducing food waste and we would encourage consumers, including those more value-­focused, to embrace it.' Machaela O'Leary of Too Good To Go added: 'It's a win-win: shoppers get access to great food at great value, and together we help tackle one of the world's ­biggest environmental challenges one bite at a time.
