Greencore Group plc is a leading manufacturer of convenience foods and supplies a wide range of chilled, frozen and ambient foods to successful retail and food service customers in the UK. Its diverse range of customers and products can lead to short production runs and frequent changeovers risking higher wastages, especially to effluent streams from line washdowns.

Meadow Foods Limited (MFL) is a manufacturer of value-added dairy and plant-based ingredients, as well as inclusions and toppings with sites in Chester, Dolgellau, Peterborough and Holme on Spalding Moor.

Practical examples on approaches for measuring food waste in effluent streams, primarily for food producers and manufacturers, supporting delivery of the UK Food Waste Reduction Roadmap.

A look at the strategy and practices that enable Co-op to adopt the principles of the UK Food Waste Reduction Roadmap – 'Target, Measure, Act'.

Cheshire West and Chester Council is the fourth largest unitary authority in the North West with 154,500 households. Established in 2009, it brought together the three boroughs of Ellesmere Port and Neston, Vale Royal and the City of Chester and assumed the responsibilities of the former Cheshire County Council for those authorities.

Durham County Council (DCC) was established as a unitary authority in 2009. It is now the 6th largest authority in England covering 226,000 hectares, with 237,500 properties and has a population of 515,348.

In 2007/8, against a backdrop of a wide range in household recycling collections in the 4 councils in East Kent, a Management Group was formed to address the lack of consistency in services and explore opportunities for cost savings.

WRAP works with local authorities across England, supporting them to deliver interventions that have been proven to increase the yield of food waste collected for recycling from separate weekly collections.

WRAP has been working with authorities on food waste collections since 2013, and we’ve found that the most successful way of increasing and sustaining the performance of food waste collection services is to introduce a package of interventions. These include use of a “no food waste” residual bin sticker, a free supply of caddy liners, and an information leaflet for residents. 

In 2020 WRAP carried out an options appraisal on behalf of a medium sized Waste Collection Authority in the midlands to compare the cost and performance of a range of collection scenarios in preparation for necessary changes to its household waste collection service.
