National Zero Waste Week 6-12 September 2010
National Zero Waste Week
This year’s theme is ‘Cooking for Victory’ in response to WRAP's “Household Food & Drink Waste in the UK” report.
The report
The report shows we throw away 8.3 million tonnes of food and drink every year. Most of this is avoidable and could have been eaten if we had planned, stored and managed it better. This amount of food waste costs the average family in Britain £50 per month.
National Zero Waste Week 2010 is sponsored by Tetra-Pak; the world’s leading food processing and packaging solutions company.
How to join in?
Visit the National Zero Waste Week event page to see how you can get involved.
According to WRAP around 20% of the UK´s greenhouse gas emissions are associated with food production, distribution and storage.
Support from a celebrity chef
I’m a great supporter of National Zero Waste Week. I think it’s a wonderful idea and everyone should give join in. Once you’ve done a week, then it’s only another 51 to go! Celebrity chef, Brian Turner CBE.
During Zero Waste Week you’ll discover how Brian views food as an asset, promotes a ‘compost while you cook’ approach and encourages us to use our fridges and freezer as tools for minimising food waste.
Prizes
There are two great prizes up for grabs - a £50 LUSH voucher and £50 Natural Collection voucher!
