The WRAP website and its consumer-facing Love Food Hate Waste campaign website are excellent sources of food waste data and summary statistics.

This section signposts key reports and web pages that will be helpful to those looking for data to help with preparing waste prevention communication materials, with the implementation of new prevention activities and with planning further research.

Below, we highlight good sources of data and summary statistics relating to food waste. 

1 ) WRAP’s Household Food and Drink Waste Resource Listing and (see attached pdf file) is an up-to-date listing which summarises all the resources (guidance, tools and research) produced by WRAP to support taking action to reduce household food and drink waste. 

2) Food surplus and waste in the UK – key facts (also attached) draws on WRAP's evidence base to summarise key facts and figures relating to food waste.
