Food Waste Action Week
In March each year we focus the world’s attention on an important but often unseen climate change issue: food waste.
Food Waste Action Week 2024
Food Waste Action Week 2024 will be encouraging citizens to ‘Choose What You’ll Use’, highlighting the benefits of buying loose fruit and vegetables and inspiring people to do this wherever they can. Buying loose reduces food waste - WRAP research has shown that if all apples, bananas and potatoes were sold loose, we could save 60,000 tonnes of food waste by enabling people to buy closer to their needs.

Food Waste Action Week 2023
The UK’s biggest annual food saving campaign returned!
Food Waste Action Week 2023 took place 6 - 12 March with the theme: Win. Don’t Bin.
We helped you find out how you could save time and money by making the most of the food you buy via tailored tips based on your answers to our quiz.
With a bit of forward planning here, and a dash of savvy storage there; many of you enjoyed those little winning moments in life of having tomorrow’s lunch sorted the night before, or defrosting that spare portion of spag bol for a quick and easy dinner.
