In the ongoing battle to reduce food waste, a group of students has discovered how the oil from mango seeds could be used as a moisturiser.
Key points:
An estimated 7.6 million tonnes of food is wasted in Australia each year
One idea is oil extracted from mango kernels used in moisturiser to cut down on waste
It was one of many ideas being explored to find ways of reusing leftovers or produce that would otherwise be thrown out.
