*This calculator is based on data collected by our free, Food Rescue Logging Tool. Since 2016 over 400
schools have logged data using our tool.
The case study told us that each student would have thrown away approximately 3.6 items of unwanted, unopened and unpeeled items per week. The calculations above include 5 items = 1 meal and 1 lbs. CO2e = (Items/4)/2.
