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.
 

We worked in schools; with brands and retailers; and with policy makers to make the shift towards buying and selling fresh produce simpler for everyone.

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. 

Supported by 80 organisations, across 12 countries, over 8 million people heard about the food waste issue that week. Nearly 55% of these people took action to reduce the amount of food they bin at home as a result.

Love Food Hate Waste is brought to you by the international climate action NGO, WRAP. WRAP also delivers information, support and resources to help us all recycle more things, more often through the website Recycle Now and Recycle Week, in September.
