Zero Waste Scotland said “misconceptions” about canned goods were driving shoppers to spend more on fresh food
Scots have been urged to take a fresh look at tinned food which eco campaigners say lasts longer, reduces waste and can be easily recycled.
A third of those surveyed associated tinned foods like beans and soup with groups such as students and elderly people. But ZWS said these shelf staples are cost-effective options that last for years and contain plenty of nutrients - adding the average household throws eight meals’ worth of fresh grub away every week.
“But with the price of food going up it makes even more sense to waste as little as possible. Tins are a staple in any kitchen cupboard, but it’s easy to overlook their ability to help us tackle the amount of food we waste. Top news stories today Food tins are usually made from steel, which is 100 per cent recyclable and can be reprocessed again and again. All cans including pet food tins and larger food tins such as those containing sweets and biscuits are accepted as kerbside recycling in all 32 council areas in Scotland.
