Food Waste Management and Reduction

In 2017, 810 million kilograms of food waste were generated, equivalent to the weight of over 3,600 MRT trains. Food is wasted when we cook too much, discard leftovers, or throw away expiring food. To reduce food waste, plan meals with eating habits in mind, use what you already have, and repurpose leftovers into new dishes. For more recipes, visit CGS SG.
