flag UK households waste £460 worth of food annually during Christmas, contributing to 3 million tonnes of extra waste.

flag The UK generates around three million tonnes of extra waste during Christmas, including 200,000 tonnes of food—worth £460 per household—thrown away annually. flag Food waste accounts for 70% of the 10 million tonnes of food discarded yearly, with holiday habits significantly contributing. flag Excessive packaging, non-recyclable wrapping paper, and discarded trees add to the burden, while online shopping increases emissions. flag Experts urge meal planning, proper food storage, composting scraps, donating unopened goods, and using reusable bags and wrapping. flag Simple changes like checking recyclability with a scrunch test, repurposing materials, and recycling trees can reduce environmental impact.
