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 4 diary-based (combined with surveys) food waste measurement studies following the EU-FUSIONS methodology: 2016; 2019; 2021 and 2022. The data of the 2022 study (covering 500+ individual households) is currently being analysed and will be published soon!
