Taste Not Waste

WHAT IS IT

The UK hospitality and food sector wastes one million tonnes of food every year, three quarters of which is still edible.

Cambridge Sustainable Food is helping restaurants, cafes and food outlets across the city to start saving by measuring and cutting their food waste as part of our ‘Taste Not Waste’ programme.

MISSION

Funded by Cambridge City Council and with assistance from waste experts, WRAP, we have developed resources and guidance to help your business cut food waste and costs.

Through reducing food waste, businesses can reap the benefits of higher profits, increasing customer numbers, new PR opportunities, and legal compliance.

Case Studies

In February 2018, Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) partnered with us to promote a university-wide food waste campaign: ‘Food Waste: Sort It Out!’ Find out more here

Check out more food waste-busting case studies from Cambridge Cookery and St John’s College too.
