Mandate Food Waste Reduction

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

The UK wastes 1.9 million tonnes of food every single year. But, according to WRAP, this could be redistributed as 360 million meals.

For the sake of sustainability, and to end food poverty, we need a regulatory approach to food waste.
