29 September is international "food waste day"

We know that a lot of food is wasted. We also know that this can be prevented.

“A simple way to keep fruit and vegetables fresh for longer is, for example, to have storage with built-in drainage," says Ulrika Juvas, Product Manager at Clas Ohlson. 

"A better overview of what you have in the fridge helps to reduce food waste, this is something that both we and many of our customers know. You can organize your fridge with transparent storage and a spinning tray. You can also sort, for example, breakfast products or broths in their own boxes, which you just take in and out of the fridge so you always know what you have available.”

“For dry goods, I recommend transparent storage, preferably airtight. We also have those with transparent lids that are good for pull-out drawers," says Ulrika.

Today, 29 September, is the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste. How do you prevent food waste?
