Residential Resources
There is a ban on Single Use Plastics including plastic cutlery, drink stirrers, polystyrene products and drinking straws.
Plastic packaging in the hospitality and food service industry provides many challenges and opportunities, the UK Plastic Pact has four targets working towards a world where plastic is valued. There are actions you can take to achieve these targets.
The Food waste reduction roadmap toolkit provides actions to help you reduce food waste. To see what others have done go to Hospitality and food service case studies on the WRAP website.
If you are looking for ideas of what to do with leftover food, Surplus food hub can help, also available on the WRAP website.
