Food and drink waste from households in the UK
Abstract
Summary Reducing the amount of food and drink that is wasted is a key element in developing a sustainable food system. In the UK, the largest contribution to food waste is from homes: 8.3 million tonnes per year, costing consumers £12 billion and contributing 3% of UK greenhouse gas emissions. This paper describes recent insights gained from research by the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) and others into the types of food wasted, why it is wasted and what can be done to minimise it. The research methods used – which have parallels with dietary research – are described and findings of interest to the field of nutrition are highlighted, including the impact of waste on intake (e.g. 0.8 portions of fruit and vegetables are wasted per person per day). The activities undertaken by WRAP and its partners to minimise household food waste are described: consumer engagement and working with retailers and food manufacturers to help consumers to buy the right amount, keep what they buy at its best and use what they buy. Between 2006–2007 and 2009, the amount of household food waste reduced, this is discussed in light of the work of WRAP and its partners, and other influences such as food prices. Areas for future research and engagement to further reduce the quantity and impact of food waste are outlined.

Waste composition analyses do not generate information about the causes of food loss and waste.
“Waste composition analyses have limitations on information about specific waste quantities by food category and do not include alternative disposal routes of households, such as a separate bio-waste collection, home composting, or the use as pet food [103], but above all, there is no generation of information about the causes of the FLW.”

Self-report methods such as surveys and diaries can be unreliable and tend to underestimate food waste generation.
“research shows that such observational methods can be unreliable and tend to underestimate food waste generation (17–19).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
