There are significant opportunities to reduce costs and environmental impact in the hospitality sector
GOAL
By 2015 we aim to reduce carbon dioxide equivalent emissions associated with avoidable food and drink waste by 3.2 million tonnes a year.
We will:
- Work in partnership with manufacturers and retailers to reduce food and drink waste in their supply chains
- Help individuals reduce food waste both inside and outside the home, using Love Food Hate Waste to provide support and information
- Expand our food and drink waste prevention work to the hospitality, tourism and public sectors, with particular focus on helping SMEs in these sectors to take action
- Work with the packaging sector to optimise the design and functionality of packaging to minimise food waste
