Food waste measurement

admin

Project Wasteless collects data on household food waste in Hungary, which is part of the obligatory data reporting to the European Commission.

Since 2016 we have conducted 7 diary-based (combined with surveys) food waste measurement studies following the EU-FUSIONS methodology: 2016; 2019; 2021; 2022; 2023; 2024 and 2025.
