Why Compleat it?

We’ve all binned our stalks, abandoned our peels, and forgotten our bread ends. But why is it important to compleat food instead?

When food that is grown and produced for us to eat goes uneaten, all the resources that have gone into bringing that food to our plates – land, water and energy – go to waste, too.

This has a huge effect on our environment, as those resources could be used for something else, or saved entirely, to reduce our impact on the planet.

Do your bit. Don’t just eat it. Compleat it.

Remember: The best thing we can all do is to make sure the food that makes it to our plates is enjoyed. Anything that we can’t compleat (egg shells, tea bags and banana skins might never be on the menu…) can be composted, or recycled if you have a food waste recycling service at home.
