Interim results: BILLA has already saved over 10,000 tons of food with customers this year

September 29 is World Food Waste Day. In Austria, more than 900,000 tons of food are thrown away every year - that's the equivalent of 50,000 fully loaded trucks that, if lined up, would create a 750-kilometre-long traffic jam from Vienna to Zurich. Most of this is avoidable waste. Bread, confectionery and baked goods as well as fruit and vegetables are particularly affected. The biggest waster is the private household with a share of 58 percent[1].
