Saving food safely
Zero Waste Scotland is supporting businesses to redistribute food during the coronavirus.
With restaurants, cafes and other commercial food businesses feeling the continued impact of coronavirus restrictions, disruption continues to be felt right across the supply chain as suppliers access to markets are likely to have changed for the produce they are growing and rearing.
We have developed a matchmaking service and redistribution advice, intended to help manage previously unforeseen gluts, where no other solution is in place.
Food waste is responsible for 22% of Scotland's carbon impact and preventing damaging greenhouse gases is an essential step in our fight against climate change.
Our below advice will take you through a few steps to understand more about food waste, redistribution and give you some advice on how to get started.
