This year, the UK’s biggest annual food waste reduction campaign will run from 17 to 23 March 2025.
Food Waste Action Week is Love Food Hate Waste's flagship annual campaign which brings businesses, government organisations and global partners together to support citizens to develop the tools they need to cut food waste in their homes.
Their mission is simple – they want to get more and more people across the UK talking about why buying loose fruit and vegetables is better.
Why? Because their research shows that selling items loose (unpackaged), so that people can buy just the amount they need, is an effective way to reduce household food waste.
“If all apples, bananas and potatoes were sold loose, 60,000 tonnes of food waste could be saved every year.”
The success of Food Waste Action Week is largely down to support from committed partners – retailers, manufacturers, governments, local authorities, NGOs and community organisations – all working together, with the aim of reducing household food waste.
