THE damaging impact of household food waste from Scottish consumers will be put under the microscope in a new partnership between Zero Waste Scotland and Glasgow Science Centre.

The campaign will highlight the fact that food waste is the number one driver of climate change in Scotland and will look at topics including the carbon cost of food production, farming, transport and packaging processes.

Through a series of videos and eye-opening infographics on Zero Waste Scotland’s consumer-facing channel, Love Food Hate Waste Scotland, Scots will be able to delve deeper into the science of food waste with experiments set to be launched for budding scientists to try at home.

ther focus areas that will feature across social media include what happens when our food waste goes to landfill versus what happens when it’s properly recycled, giving consumers a “behind the scenes” look at this important issue
