There Is A Cafe In Leeds Where All The Dishes Are Made From Food Waste

Re-use, recycle.

This is the Real Junk Food Project, in Leeds.

The cafe uses food that would otherwise have been thrown out.

The menu for the restaurant changes every day, depending on resources.

The cafe has been open since December 2013.

The cafe is run on a pay-as-you-feel system.

It's staffed by five volunteer directors, included two chefs and two recent graduates.

The team hope to expand the concept to countries around the world.
