Food/Banana Waste

Hi,

I'm a final year Product Design student at Leeds Beckett University, and for my Final Major Project, I have decided to carry out a project on the topic of food waste, with a particular focus on banana waste.


Did you know...

1.4 million edible bananas are wasted each day in the UK alone. That totals 511 million per year!
