FOOD WASTE
This page is specially designed to educate each other about how we sort food waste. Here you will find film clips, downloadable PDFs and info.
ABOUT FOOD WASTE
From the turn of the year 2022/2023, everyone must sort out food waste. It is already mandatory for restaurants today, but on January 1st it also applies to households and other businesses.
Food waste is an important resource that we must take care of. The food must of course be eaten, but the peel and skin are valuable. Today, just under 30 percent of the food waste that we Stockholmers create is sorted. Sweden's goal is for at least 75 percent of food waste to be sorted out to become biofertilizer and biogas. Making it mandatory is a step in that work.
But if you haven't done this as a routine before, it can be confusing to know where to start. Therefore, here is all the information you need to make the right decision when sorting food.
HOW FOOD SORTING WORKS
If you are not used to sorting food, it can be reassuring to hear someone else explain how to do it first, so that you do it right from the start. Below you can see useful videos from Stockholm Water & Waste. The videos are unfortunately in Swedish.
