Supplementary notes

* The report calcuates the 'average' UK household as 2.4 occupants.
* The cost to households of avoidable waste has been estimated from food prices for 2012, i.e. the cost to purchase food that was subsequently thrown away. It does not include the cost associated with preparing food and drink in the home (e.g. gas or electricity for cooking), travelling to and from the supermarket, or disposal costs incurred by local authorities. The cost was only calculated for avoidable food and drink waste as it is problematic to ascribe a cost to possibly avoidable and unavoidable waste.
