Australia wastes millions of meals every day — and most of us think we waste far less than we actually do. That’s where The Great Unwaste comes in: a national behaviour-change movement led by End Food Waste Australia that makes reducing food waste practical, positive and doable at home. The campaign is backed by robust research showing simple habits — from smarter shopping to better storage and clever leftovers use — can slash household food waste, save money, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build more resilient, connected communities.

Join us in Kwinana for a hands-on workshop where we’ll unpack the why and the how, share local tips and tools, and give you the confidence to unwaste food every day. Whether you’re a keen cook, grocery-budget warrior, or just want to make your household more sustainable, this session will leave you inspired and equipped to act.

• Food waste costs the average household over $2,500 a year and contributes unnecessary greenhouse gases. The Great Unwaste
• Small changes at the kitchen level add up to big impacts on climate, community and wallets.
