Building on WRAP’s Food Waste Action Week 2022, which focussed on the relationship between wasted food and its impact on climate change, this webinar will provide you with the opportunity to share best practice and present you with helpful information and resources wherever you are on the journey to reduce food waste.
Overview
Watch the webinar recording now:
Food, Utilities and Labour costs are all significantly on the increase – reducing food waste is an area which will save you money with the added benefit of reducing your carbon footprint.
During the webinar we’ll ask for your experience of WRAP’s Cost Savings Skills Course and other examples of learning, together with your initial findings on the volume or weight of food that is wasted during the course of a week’s service.
Presentations will explore cost saving skills; supporting behaviour change; how to become a food waste champion; a Guardians of Grub Ambassador; updates on forthcoming Government policies and regulations.
Hosted Round table sessions will provide the forum for open discussions on these topics and what progress universities (institutions) are making in preventing the wasting of food.
To derive the most benefit from the webinar attendees should, in advance:
- Complete the FREE 15 minute Cost Saving Skills Course • Guardians of Grub. A simple online registration process is required.
- Measure wasted food for a minimum of a week, ideally segregating in to spoilage, prep, plate and other (e.g. buffet). Starter-Guide.pdf (guardiansofgrub.com)

There are 3 steps to consider on your food waste reduction journey:
- Step 1 Prevention - reducing the amount of food that is wasted through training, behaviour change, leading by example - the no cost, or low cost and best option
- Step 2 Redistribution - using apps like Too Good to Go and Olio
- Step 3 Recycling - using waste management contractors to derive the most beneficial outcome from the treatment of food waste i.e. anaerobic digestion
