The economic production process often creates a vastly larger mass of waste than useful product. United States and Canada are responsible for more than 90 percent of the 350 million metric tons of hazardous waste produced globally each year. Industrialised and developing countries waste roughly 670 millions of tonnes of food every year.. In India, where huge percentage of food is being wasted, especially during festive occasions and events. In big fat Indian weddings itself, one-fifth of the food served is discarded while thousands of people sleep hungry on the streets. One of the study concluded that household income is related to food wastage but in a non-linear manner. Some studies found a tendency for large-size families to waste more food than small-size families while others argued that in large-size families or families with small children, food wastage is not a concern.
