War on Waste on ABC – In the new 3-part series War on Waste passionate planet advocate and prankster Craig Reucassel will once again dive deep into Australia’s waste crisis to uncover the truth about recycling, answer our most-asked waste questions and provide straightforward solutions to help us stem the waste tide.
Continuing the War on Waste presenter Craig Reucassel takes to the streets to confront everyday Aussies about the astonishing amount of food we throw away.
To demonstrate the size of the problem he sets up a fifty-metre-long table loaded with 500 kilograms of food. How many families would it take to generate this amount of food waste?
Craig also catches up with design students at the University of NSW. They’ve been set a challenge to re-design some of our most commonly used products, to see if they can be made easier to recycle. From the ubiquitous soy sauce plastic fish to bread bags and stickers on fruit – will any of the students’ clever new designs make their way to the supermarket shelves?
Science communicator Lee Constable joins Craig to demonstrate the environmental impacts of food waste and Craig shares some expert tips on how to reduce it in the home.
Craig revisits our farmers to find out whether supermarket cosmetic standards are still leading to fruit and vegetables being wasted.
