 Waste Journal

Come count with us!

You know that food waste is a problem - but how big of a problem, really?

You know that food waste is a problem - but how big of a problem, really?

Imagine your favorite fruit. From its batch production, processing, quality assurance, packaging and delivery, to its final consumption by you - somewhere in that journey, 1/3rd of all your favorite fruit produced goes to waste. Now apply that to all food items you've ever seen.

Now you know!

1/3rd of food globally produced is wasted. That comes with a few larger worries.

The food we throw away decomposes and releases methane, a silent killer. Methane contributes to an increase in global temperatures and contributes to worldwide climate change, resulting in catastrophes like drought, storms, heat waves, rising sea levels, and many more. Together, we can stop that.

And now, you step in.

Count your contribution on Your Waste Journal using Bestby's Carbon Footprint Calculator

What is the Bestby Carbon Footprint Calculator?

Using food waste stats from the Abu Dhabi Statistics Center and global impact frameworks, we have created the Bestby magic formula that will count your contribution to reduce one earth day’s carbon footprint.

Okay. Now what's the Bestby magic formula?

We have found our Bestby Golden Ratio: Every kg purchased through Bestby equates 0.52 Kgs of CO2 Eq successfully off-setted from releasing into the environment.

Et voila! We've made impact together!

Every kg of food saved on Bestby through your order is tallied into our overall food waste reduction target.
