Sainsbury’s has partnered with behaviour change charity Hubbub and Bosch to launch a new initiative to combat the environmental and social impact of food waste – The Community Fridge Network.

A route map to turn London into one of the world’s most resource efficient cities has been launched by LWARB, calling on stakeholders from local government to community groups to carry out a range of actions targeting five key areas including food waste and plastics.

The Real Junk Food Project is under investigation after West Yorkshire Trading Standards claimed to have found over 400 out-of-date items in the charity’s warehouse in Leeds.

Sainsbury’s has announced that it intends to rollout its ‘Waste less, Save more’ programme across the UK, investing funds in education and innovative initiatives to combat food waste.

Hubbub co-founder Trewin Restorick shares lessons on behaviour change campaigns learnt and implemented through the organisation's Square Mile Challenge to reduce coffee cup waste in central London.

Hubbub is targeting ‘tidy littering’ in a new ‘For Fish’s Sake’ campaign attempting to change littering habits in London and stop waste from entering the Thames

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation has launched a Circular Fibres Initiative to investigate how a new global circular economy for textiles could be developed.

The government should establish a national food waste reduction target, with retailers forced to publish figures on their food waste, after a voluntary approach has proved ‘inadequate’, says Parliament’s EFRA Committee.

The government’s new Litter Strategy for England has been widely well-received, though some concerns about funding, the role of EPR and implications on waste management have been voiced.

Litterers could be fined up to £150 and councils stopped from charging householders for disposing DIY household waste at recycling centres as part of the government’s new and long-anticipated litter strategy for England.
