Help residentsreduce food waste.
Food waste remains one of the largest contributors to avoidable household waste. SaveTheSnack gives councils a practical digital platform that helps residents track food, understand waste habits, and take small actions that reduce avoidable waste at home.
A resident-focused food waste tool
SaveTheSnack can support council campaigns by turning awareness into everyday action. Instead of only telling residents why food waste matters, the app helps them manage what they buy, use food before it expires, and make better decisions at home.
Community engagement
Support local sustainability initiatives with a practical tool residents can use daily.
Educational campaigns
Complement food waste reduction campaigns with simple, behaviour-focused digital support.
Environmental goals
Contribute towards local waste reduction, recycling and sustainability targets.
Understanding what households buy
This chart shows the breakdown of common food categories that households regularly purchase. For councils, this kind of insight helps identify where food waste prevention messages can be more targeted, such as fresh produce, meat, fish, dairy or bakery items.
Within SaveTheSnack, this type of data can help shape more useful guidance for residents. If certain categories are commonly bought and wasted, councils can use that information to support focused education campaigns around storage, meal planning and using food before it expires.
Understanding why food is wasted
This chart highlights common reasons households report for wasting food, such as overbuying, missed expiry dates or forgetting items at home. These reasons are important because they show that food waste is often caused by everyday habits rather than a lack of care.
SaveTheSnack is designed to address these practical causes directly. By helping residents track what they already have, receive reminders and plan meals around existing ingredients, councils can support behaviour change in a way that feels simple and achievable.
