The letter emphasises that mandatory food waste reporting would be a \u201ckey step in reducing food waste\u201d, because it would force businesses to understand their waste hotspots and use this information to design and implement effective waste reduction plans. It acknowledges progress made under voluntary initiatives but said that a mandate would be \u201cnecessary\u201d to \u201ctackle this pressing issue at scale\u201d, emphasising that food waste costs the UK economy almost \u00a322bn each year. Signatories of the letter include Aldi UK, Cook, Danone, Gousto, innocent Drinks, Lidl, Nestle, Ocado, Oddbox, Princes, Quorn, Sainsbury\u2019s, Tesco, the Co-Op and Waitrose.<\/p>\n<p>The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) first floated a food waste reporting mandate for large firms in the Resources and Waste Strategy in 2018. Several key policy changes included in the Strategy were delayed during Covid-19 and, back in July 2023, Defra confirmed that it would shelve the implementation of compulsory food waste disclosures for businesses including supermarkets and restaurant chains.<br \/>\nThis was despite the fact that, in consultations regarding the mandate, more than eight in ten respondents were supportive.<\/p>\n<p>Defra defended this decision by stating that it never promised to implement the policy \u2013 only to consult on it. The Department also pointed to increasing disclosures in the industry made on a voluntary basis. The legality of this decision has been called into question by campaign group Feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/seize-this-chance-supermarkets-press-uk-government-for-mandatory-food-waste-reporting\/\">Edie.net<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-496\/\">\u2018Seize this chance\u2019: Supermarkets press UK Government for mandatory food waste reporting<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,13854,13855],"class_list":["post-129121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-food-waste-report","tag-supermarkets"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129121"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129121\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129121"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
