More information below:
Right now, businesses are keeping us in the dark about how much food they waste. A crucial first step to tackling this huge problem is to know how much food is wasted and who is responsible.
To break the deadlock, the government pledged to introduce a groundbreaking new food waste law to make businesses measure and publish their food waste. This would be a BIG DEAL – causing a revolution in food waste transparency and setting a template for the world to follow.
But disgracefully, the government has caved to a minority of powerful business interests and scrapped plans for this vital law - despite 99% of consultation responses including the majority of businesses supporting the law.
Now we need to ramp up public pressure to save this vital food waste law.
We’d be very grateful if you’d be able to share this petition with your supporters, via social media/email, if you can. The more signatories we can get, the more chance we have of overturning the government’s terrible decision on this vital law! We’re expecting the petition to take off over the next few days.
Please use the hashtag #MakeFoodWasteCount and tag Feedback where possible! See the attached a comms pack for more info incl. example social media posts, and a few images which might be helpful for promoting
