The UK is debating a historic law to make UK businesses publicly report their food waste (a world first!) – and we’re so close to winning. Take action to stop this vital law being weakened/cancelled!

Over 300,000 of you have called on supermarkets and food businesses to publish their food waste. When waste is reported, it is reduced.

But despite a decade of pressure, almost all businesses continue to keep their food waste secret.

Now a historic law could break the deadlock.

After 3 years of delay, the government is proposing a hugely significant new law – the first of its type in the world – which would make it compulsory for larger food businesses to report their food waste.

But without public pressure, there’s a big risk this vital food waste law could be weakened… or even scrapped. Reporting could be delayed years, and farms could be excluded completely.

As millions go hungry and the climate crisis worsens, no food should be wasted. This law will help tackle the root causes of food waste.

Time is ticking to respond to the government’s consultation. Our friends at Feedback have made this email action to help you easily respond.

There’s over 300,000 of us – if we all respond, we could save the food waste law!

Take action! (only takes 2 mins)
