John Mackie: professional engineer responds to food waste survey results - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

New data shows Kiwi households aren't drawn to their food scrap bins.

A food waste survey of 3,000 New Zealanders revealed that two thirds of respondents found them unappealing- citing cost and smell as the key reasons.

The professional engineer behind the survey, John Mackie, says he's shared this data with the new Government to find a solution. 

"Putting the food waste down the insinkerator, like I do, is equally as good a solution- in fact, it was argued that it was more carbon-efficient."
