Your Business Is Food: Don't Throw it Away
The Waste and Resources Action Programme have produced a new guidance toolkit to encourage good practice.
WRAP's resource is allowing food businesses to contribute to the war on waste and encourage sustainability and reduction within the industry.
WRAP is a catalyst for action, delivering ground-breaking initiatives to support more sustainable economies and society, then converting ideas into action and delivery on the ground.
One of WRAP's priorities is reduction in food waste. Their consumer programmes 'empower individuals to take action through inspiring messages and practical advice'.
'Love Food Hate Waste' is delivered in partnership with major UK supermarkets. The campaign gives individuals the information they need to recognise and tackle food waste.
Their helpful resource pack can be downloaded from their website here, and includes;
Starter guide- is designed to help your business save money as well as make money. Through staff and customer engagement, the step by step guide help you reduce waste daily.
Poster- is a reminder to staff that waste is an important issue and explains how they can help.
Tracker sheet- helps monitor and measure food thrown away. Both 3 and 7 day sheets are available.
