The UK’s first-ever Food Waste Action Week will run between March 1-7 and will bring together citizens and organizations from retail, manufacturing, local government, hospitality, and across the industry to demonstrate the impact of wasted food on people, on business.

Nonprofit organization WRAP is proud to organize Food Waste Action Week in partnership with some of the UK’s leading businesses and organizations. Marcus Gover, CEO of WRAP, said: “The climate crisis remains one of the biggest and most urgent challenges facing humanity. Wasted food has a significant contribution to climate change, and is something we need to address together. WRAP has the data and research to demonstrate the reality of the issue – what we need is for partners to get this date in the diary, and join us in the Food Waste Action Week activities to make wasting food a thing of the past”.
