330 Million breads thrown away

Today's primetime news reports 330 million breads are thrown away each year in the Netherlands. What an amazing amount! The centre for advice on food consumption and the bakery's start a campaign to reduce the waste. About half of the bread is thrown away at home, and the other half is send back by the supermarkets to the bakery's. The bakery's recycle a part of the bread (breadcrumps, animal food), and plan to innovate to recycle more by producing bio-energy, paper and plactic, and produce new raw material to bake fresh bread...

After some google-ing found that each kilo of food thrown away is 15.000L water and 1L fuel wasted as well...something to think about!
