Detailed waste composition analyses have been carried out for 220 households in two regions in Norway in 2011; one urban area and one rural area.
- •
Each household generated in average 8.86 kg total waste per week, of which 3.76 kg was food waste, 2.17 kg edible food waste and 0.60 kg edible food waste in original packaging.
- •
Fresh bread, fresh fruits and vegetables and left-overs from dinner meals were the most important food types in the waste bins.
- •
There was significant higher amounts of edible food waste from the urban region than from the rural area.
- •
No significant differences could be identified between residence types and age groups, due to big variations between the samples and small sample sizes.
- •
Total amount of edible food waste generated per capita in Norway was estimated to 46.3 kg based in the results.
