Reducing Food Waste
Reducing food waste in Australia remains a top priority for Woolworths. Together with our customers, our farmers and our community partners, we’re working to keep good food out of landfill and ensure that we become Australia’s most sustainable grocer.
- 100% of our stores now have a program to keep food out of landfill
- In 12 months, we diverted 33,157 tonnes of food waste from landfill to our food relief partners or donated to farmers as feedstock
- The equivalent of 20 million meals are provided to Australians in need every year through our support of partners such as OzHarvest, FoodBank, and FareShare
- Since 2015, 156,000 tonnes of the 'Odd Bunch' fruit and vegetables have been purchased by customers, helping to divert that produce from landfill
