Waste Reduction through Innovation

11th July 2008 by Alex Briggs

UK’s Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) have invited food manufacturers to take part in a project aimed at waste reduction through innovation in food packaging technology.
WRAP said that a tender process is underway, whereby initiatives from the food manufacturing sector focusing on reusable and refillable packaging, new merchandising and dispensing systems or product reformulation will receive funding for up to 50 per cent of the project costs.
The agency estimates that 5.2 million tonnes of food related packaging waste and 6.7 million tonnes of food waste are disposed of within UK homes each year.
