From producer to consumer the aim is to make food and drink production and consumption more sustainable. At its heart is a ten-year commitment to identify priorities, develop solutions and implement changes at scale – both within signatory organisations and by spreading new best practice across the UK. By targeting hotspots of resource use, we will cut the waste and greenhouse gas emissions associated with food and drink by at least one-fifth per person in ten years and improve water stewardship, with cumulative savings of around £20 billion. By working collectively we will: Provide lower impact products Provide them more efficiently Help people get more value from the food and drink they buy Make best use of remaining waste and surplus food. Our shared ambition is to cut the resource needed to provide food & drink by one-fifth in ten years, increasing value for everyone. The targeted overall outcomes from 2015 to 2025, calculated as a relative reduction per head of population, are: 20% reduction in food & drink waste arising in the UK 20% reduction in the GHG intensity of food & drink consumed in the UK A reduction in impact associated with water use in the supply chain For more information visit http://www.wrap.org.uk/content/courtauld-commitment-2025 Contact Details Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority 7th Floor No. 1 Mann Island Liverpool L3 1BP Tel: (0151) 255 1444 Email: enquiries@merseysidewda.gov.uk Opening Hours Monday – Friday: 8:30AM – 4:45PM How to Find Us Find us on Google Maps View our Directions Document Twitter Facebook YouTube LinkedIn General Enquiries Your Name * Your Email * Your Telephone Type of Enquiry General Feedback Comment Compliment Complaint Request Information FOI/Environmental Information Regulation Your Message * I accept that MRWA may use the data I have provided to send me further information which they think may be relevant to me, and that my details will be added to MRWA's database.
