The European Commission (EC) approved two Polish investments on Thursday related to the development of waste exploitation, for which it plans to allocate over EUR 100 mln, the EC said.
To help reduce waste, the Polish government has agreed on a new law that will force food sellers to donate any unsold foodstuff to non-governmental organizations or receive a fine of 0.1 PLN per kilo of wasted foodstuff.
The average Pole wastes 247kg of food a year, putting Poland in fifth place in Europe, where the average is 173kg per capita, the Polish Economic Institute (PIE) has reported. The most commonly wasted foods in Poland are bread, fruit and smoked meats.
