Food waste toolkit
Our food waste toolkit will take you through a few steps to understand more about food waste, and give you some tools to start reducing it.
The best way to understand how you’re doing on food waste is to monitor and measure it. Lots of businesses we work with are surprised by what they find when they measure.
The calculator is a handy, simple-to-use spreadsheet where you enter daily weights. It calculates some useful facts and figures to help you implement solutions in the right places. Alternatively, the 7-day tracker will give you a snapshot of food waste in your kitchen.
Watch our video with Glendoick Garden Centre which has already benefited greatly from using the calculator.
The most effective way to measure food waste is to segregate it into Plate Waste, Spoilage and Preparation Waste. Our posters will help you create separate food waste stations in your kitchen.
Now that you know where your food waste is coming from you can start reducing it. Our guide gives you ideas for reducing plate waste, spoilage and preparation waste.
