Retail

Phase 2 Targets

Using 2009 data and working to a 2012 deadline, Courtauld Commitment  2 moves away from solely weight-based targets and aims to achieve more sustainable use of resources over the entire lifecycle of products, throughout the whole supply chain. 

Targets

  • Packaging – to reduce the weight, increase recycling rates and increase the recycled content of all grocery packaging, as appropriate.  Through these measures the aim is to reduce the carbon impact of this grocery packaging by 10%.
  • Household food and waste – to reduce UK household food and drink waste by 4%.
  • Supply chain product and packaging waste – to reduce traditional grocery product and packaging waste in the grocery supply chain by 5% - including both solid and liquid wastes.

Evaluation

Progress will be captured through ongoing measuring and reporting between WRAP and the signatories.
