The Institute of mechanical engineering are saying that the

00:00:04 --> 00:00:11

waste that is being caused today is, is mostly due to poor storage,

00:00:12 --> 00:00:16

strict sell by dates where after which many people, they won't even

00:00:16 --> 00:00:19

smell the product, they won't examine it or it's out of date.

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

They will literally throw it away. There's a lot of people who are

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

very obsessed by that. They will literally throw throw away

00:00:25 --> 00:00:29

anything that is that's had its sell by date. Right, then you've

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30

got

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34

what they're saying is that the amount of food waste is up to 2

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

billion tons worth

00:00:37 --> 00:00:42

2 billion tonnes worth is being wasted every year. A study claims

00:00:42 --> 00:00:46

that up to 30% of the vegetables in the UK were not harvested.

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

Right? They were just wasted. They were just disposed of because of

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

their physical appearance.
