Resources

This Implementation Resource has been created to supplement WRAP’s Guidance on Labelling for Redistribution (the Guidance), which outlines how long different foods can be expected to be suitable for redistribution after the ‘Best Before’ date, the associated date labelling and storage instructions and the processes required by food businesses and redistribution organisations within the UK to ensure that surplus food is safely redistributed.

Protecting critical water resources for food supply, for nature and for local communities.

There has never been a better time for forward thinking businesses to get ahead of regulation. There is a business imperative to collaborate, innovate and find ways to create both impact and commercial opportunity. The challenge is to go beyond targets by delivering practical changes that go beyond ‘greenwash’.

‘Circularity’ is becoming a buzzword in the fashion industry. But what does this actually mean for fashion & textile businesses?

How does circularity fit into wider conversations on sustainable and responsible business, and on reducing the textiles industry’s impact on the environment?

The way we style our homes is becoming increasingly important to us. The market for home décor is accelerating at a fast pace and citizens are keen to keep up with the latest trends. In this webinar, we will be exploring sustainability for home textiles, looking at the key issues and challenges the sector faces.

This session covers:

• The current scene – how the sector has grown in the last five years

• How can alternative business models apply to this sector in the same way we are seeing in the clothing industry?

• How can the sector become circular?

This best practice guide identifies how a more consistent approach can be taken to the redistribution of surplus retailer own-label food from supply chain businesses. This will result in more food being made available for redistribution, in a timely manner.

Under the Food Loss and Waste Standard and the Food Waste Reduction Roadmap Roadmap guidelines biomaterial processing is NOT classified as a food waste destination. To help businesses assess if any of your material qualifies, new guidelines and a supporting assessment tool have been developed.

This document has been produced by WRAP to demonstrate how the Food Waste Prevention – a guide to help you & your business challenge existing product life & ‘open’ life (the guide) can be used. This worked example is theoretical and has been based on a raw meat product.

This guidance has been produced by WRAP to help businesses to reduce food waste by giving consumers more ‘available’ life on the products they buy, with a focus on improved performance in the supply chain and no change to the product or packaging. It is aimed at employees working in the food manufacturing and retail industry whose roles can have a direct influence on the supply of their products to consumers.

This guidance has been produced by WRAP to help businesses to reduce food waste by challenging existing product life & ‘open’ life, with a view to extending it, without any change to product or packaging. It is intended for employees working in the food manufacturing and retail industry whose roles can have a direct influence on setting the product life/ ‘open’ life on finished products.

Produced in association with RECOUP this guide provides and highlights priority issues reported by those sorting and reprocessing rigid plastic packaging, together with solutions.

Increasing the amount of food surplus that is redistributed from food businesses is a key strand of the strategy to reduce food waste, to deliver the Courtauld Commitment 2025 (Courtauld 2025) target and ultimately the Sustainable Development Goal 12.3. There has been a significant increase in activities aimed at achieving this, with good progress being made over recent years (Surplus Food Redistribution in the UK; 2015 to 2017).
