The Institute of mechanical engineering believes that waste is caused by poor storage and strict dates, leading to people not recognizing the waste until they receive a notice. They claim that up to 30% of vegetables in the UK were not harvested and are being disposed of for their appearance.

			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examine it or it's out of date.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.
