Annually. That’s how much food the average Polish resident throws away.
Only you can decide if that will change.
Each 2.7 kg per week isn’t just wasted food – it’s also methane (CH₄),
one of the most dangerous greenhouse gases.
Emissions from rotting waste accelerate climate change faster than CO₂.
In Poland, about 5 million tons of food are wasted every year.
That’s equivalent in volume to seven national stadiums stacked on top of each other.
It’s estimated that:
31,250 l of water is wasted yearly just through discarded food.
43,750 l through infrastructural processes.
15,200 l in households.
Total: 90,200 l – per person, per year.
