Food Waste

Do you Love Food Hate Waste? Greater Manchester including Wigan have joined forces with WRAP’s Love Food Hate Waste (LFHW) campaign to raise awareness of the need for all of us to reduce food waste.

Love Food Hate Waste is the ‘Waste Not Want Not’ of the modern day, providing handy tips, advice and recipes for leftovers to help everyone waste less food. Last year, we ran a number of road shows and events in your local area, reaching over 31,500 residents. The campaign will be back later in the year so keep visiting the website to find out more about what you can do, and for details of any events happening where you are!

Some of the food we buy ends up being thrown in the bin and most of this could have been eaten. Visit www.lovefoodhatewaste.com to find tasty recipes using the ingredients you already have.

Reducing food waste is a major issue and not just about good food going to waste; wasting food costs the average family £420 a year (for families with children it's as much as £610 a year) and has serious environmental implications too. Find out more on how changing the way you shop for food can slim your carbon footprint.
