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).

This document provides a summary of the methodology for the Household Simulation Model (HHSim).

The following organisations have committed to the Food Waste Reduction Roadmap and the Target, Measure, Act principles.

WRAP’s mission is to accelerate the move to a sustainable, resource-efficient economy through:

• re-inventing how we design, produce and sell products
• re-thinking how we use and consume products
• re-defining what is possible through re-use and recycling

• Practical guides developed with industry.
• Help plan and undertake field measurements.
• Field Record Sheet & Reporting Template to help record measurements.
• Enable growers to identify opportunities to reduce waste and increase marketed yield.

This document is intended to answer the most frequently asked questions that relate to the key elements of the Food Waste Reduction Roadmap and support its implementation. These are based on feedback gathered during the consultation process with the UK food and drink industry during 2018.

The purpose of this guidance is to explain and demonstrate which changes to products, packs, labels and the retail environment are most effective and impactful in helping consumers reduce fruit and vegetable waste, and how they can be applied.

The purpose of this guidance is to ensure that bread and bakery goods are properly labelled and stored and used correctly in the home.

This is a list of food surplus and food wastepercentage rates across a range of agricultural sectors. The aim is tohelp farmers understand average, high and low performance in their sectors. The data is taken from the WRAP report Food waste in primary production in the UK.

Food surplus and waste measurement and reporting guidelines

WRAP and UK food businesses have agreed common guidelines for measuring and reporting on food surplus and waste, consistent with the global Food Loss and Waste Accounting and Reporting Standard (FLW Standard).

These have been produced in support of the UK Food Waste Reduction Roadmap – to help the UK meet the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12.3 target to halve food waste by 2030.
