How we got our data
The study
We sponsored a leading research institute to conduct a quantitative household study using customers who alternated between cooking dinners with and without HelloFresh meal kits.
Methodology
Researchers instructed 1,400 global customers to weigh 5 different types of waste—leftovers from cooking, food preparation waste, unused ingredients, cooked plate waste, and inedible scraps like onion peels—daily for 2 weeks.
Process
Process
The participants cooked HelloFresh meals for the first 7 days, then spent the next 7 adhering to their usual diets. Using a digital scale, they recorded the weights of each waste category every day.
Results
Customers reported less waste overall, including 70% fewer scraps during food prep.
