DEFRA QUESTIONNAIRE: FOOD WASTE REPORTING BARRIERS, ENABLERS & CONSUMER IMPACT

Food Waste

Defra consulted on improved food waste reporting by large businesses in England and published a Government Response in July 2023. In November 2023, Defra announced that the new Secretary of State had decided to retake the decision, re-considering all options including mandatory measures for large businesses.

Defra is seeking additional evidence on the barriers and enablers of food waste reporting by businesses, including a further understanding of whether the potential financial costs or savings associated with measuring and reporting would impact consumers.

Defra have engaged WRAP to gather this feedback from large businesses in the industry via this questionnaire: https://forms.office.com/e/YM46mNR8Yt.

WRAP would be grateful if you could complete this for your business by Friday, 1st March (or share with a colleague if they are better placed to do so).

Your responses will be kept confidential to WRAP and Defra (and can be submitted anonymously if you prefer). The questionnaire should take no more than 10 minutes to complete (although it may take you more time to gather the required information).

At this point, WRAP are only seeking views from large businesses in England and/or Wales due to the scope of options under consideration.

Please also share this with suppliers or customers, where relevant, to contribute their views. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via foodwasteroadmap@wrap.org.uk.
