Petition Details

Every year in the UK 18 million tonnes of food end up in landfill.

Approx 1/3 from producers/ supply chain, 1/3 from retail and 1/3 from households.

Annual value : £23 BILLION

Disposal costs to business passed on to consumers in higher prices, landfill costs in local taxes – less income
