Talking Rubbish - The Recycling Podcast · 106. Why your fridge is making you waste food · 6 Aug 2026 podcast

Because if you do suddenly collect food waste from every household...

you actually don't have anywhere for it to go.

And so we need to build more anaerobic digestion capacity.

So I don't think it's a bad thing that the gate fees are rising for anaerobic digestion, because in theory that will cause more people to invest and build recycling facilities.

And what they basically did was they asked UK citizens, they asked a representative collection of UK citizens, do you waste less food than the average?

Yes, I do waste less than the average.

Absolutely.

Interesting.

Now, I also would say I waste less food than the average.

In this study, 80% of people said they waste less food than the average.

It's just mathematically doesn't work because it's based on number.

So it has to be that 50% waste less and 50% waste more.

So 80% of people think they are better than the average.

They then showed them a picture of the average food waste per week and said, what do you think now?

And that actually rose to 83%.

So seeing a picture made people feel even... I definitely don't waste that much.

Exactly.

So everyone's going, it wasn't me, Gov.

Exactly.

And we get this all the time with surveys where people go, I'm better than the average.
