Table Talk

Each year, food waste costs the industry £3.2 billion.  That’s according to WRAP, which found that 1.1 million tonnes of it comes from food services and hospitality. But businesses are often unsure of how to tackle the issue, so the cycle of waste continues. In 2019, WRAP launched Guardians of Grub, a campaign that aims to empower professionals from across the hospitality and food service sector to take action. Through providing support and resources, the campaign aims to equip them with the proper skills needed to address their food waste problems once and for all. So how is the campaign going? Is it assisting the sector in making the necessary changes? And how much of a dent will this make to the food industry’s waste problem?
