Food waste is a huge problem not just because it adds to Singapore’s only landfill – which is expected to be full by 2035 – but also because of the significant amount of resources and energy that goes into growing, processing and transporting food

Respondents were asked 14 multiple-choice questions like the difference between “sell by”, “use by” and “best before” dates, and how soon the Semakau landfill would reach capacity. Close to half – about 47 per cent – got fewer than seven right.
