WRAP target:
– Reduction in food waste of 100,000t by 2008

A consumer-facing campaign The development and roll-out of innovation
aimed at reducing household food waste Support in the delivery of both of the above by
key partners & stakeholders (including Courtauld Commitment signatories)
WRAP & Food Waste
The scale of the challenge
• ca. 6.7mt / yr of household food waste
• 19% by weight of household bin
• Equivalent to a third of food bought
• At least 50% could have been eaten
• This is equivalent to 15mt of CO2
• With a retail value of £8bn
• ca. £250 - £400 each year / household
Food Waste Facts
A Challenging Environment
