Updated figures for surplus food redistribution via charities and commercial outlets from retail, manufacturing and the hospitality & food service sector for the three year period 2015-2018.

Prepared on behalf of Champions 12.3, a new report finds a compelling business case for action on food waste prevention in the catering industry.

The focus of this guide is on the collection of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) from households through designated collection facilities (DCFs). It brings together existing information and explains the roles of different parties, particularly operators of approved DCFs, approved Producer Compliance Schemes (PCSs) and Local Authorities (LAs).

Momentum growing, but more still needed

Prepared on behalf of Champions 12.3, The Business Case for Reducing Food Loss and Waste analyses the financial impacts of historical food loss and waste reduction efforts.

WRAP is working with retailers and manufacturers, logistics and redistribution organisations, together with industry bodies, to identify ways of increasing the beneficial use of surplus food.

Preventing food waste is a key priority for the food & drink sector, governments and individuals.  Preventing food waste at source should always come first, but surpluses can arise for a number of reasons; for example, food incorrectly labelled, over-ordered, over-supplied or obsolete seasonal stock.

This guide offers ideas and opportunities for all those involved in the management of household waste and recycling centres (HWRCs). It is aimed at all those involved in the management of HWRCs, including local authority officers, waste-management companies and third-sector re-use partners.

This guide informs anyone funding or running HWRC sites of the options and opportunities available when introducing or improving re-use services. See download for the 2016 review of HWRC re-use shops.

These guides take the reader through communicating re-use and the process step-by-step to support the delivery of effective communications.

This guide provides an overview of the steps required to procure a good practice bulky waste service that maximises re-use.

This guide provides a step by step approach to developing a re-use baseline and using it to monitor and evaluate progress.
