House of Commons briefing paper on food waste
The House of Commons have published a briefing paper on food waste.
The paper covers:
- Overview of food waste in the UK
- Implications of food waste
- Policy and legislation
- Initiatives to tackle food waste
- Future approaches
It is estimated that the UK produces 15 million tonnes of food waste annuallyâÂÂUK households produce almost half of this. Avoidable household food waste has reduced by
21% since 2007 but the average UK household still throws away the equivalent of six meals per week. It is estimated that wasted food could cost each household £250-£400 per year. Food poverty, and a rise in food bank use, has brought the issue of food waste to ParliamentâÂÂs attention. Food waste is also being considered as part of the EUâÂÂs revised circular economy package, due by the end 2015.
