Since 2021, Food Waste Action Week has been connecting businesses, government organisations and global partners to increase awareness amongst citizens about the devastating impact that food waste is having on the planet.
Food Waste Action Week 2025
This year, the UK’s biggest annual food waste reduction campaign will run from 17 –23 March 2025; and our mission is simple - we want to get more and more people across the UK talking about why buying loose fruit and vegetables is better.
Why? Because our 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 the amazing support we receive from our committed partners – retailers, manufacturers, governments, local authorities, NGOs and community organisations – all working together with us, with the aim of reducing household food waste.
Join us in the fight against food waste, one of the biggest contributors to climate change.
