On average, each of us throws 82 kilograms of food in the trash each year. But only a quarter of the total 18 million tons of food thrown away is due to consumers. Quarks shows how big the problem of food waste really is and takes stock. Whether it's leftover pizza, expired yogurt or the forgotten banana: nobody can completely avoid food waste. But when it comes to food waste, there are differences between the generations. Quarks puts the food waste test to the test: old or young - who throws away more? Shop sensibly, store correctly, cook with foresight: you can avoid food waste at home if you pay attention. But does it work on a large scale? A large canteen in the middle of Cologne has sworn off food waste. Authors: Alexandra Hostert, Florian Schneider --- Thanks for watching! Did you like the video?
