A meaningful difference
To recover this incredible amount of surplus, this report focuses on unlocking these three key areas, providing frameworks, advice and real-world examples to drive change. In line with UK government, WRAP and the Coronation Food Project recommendations, the first step to feeding more people sustainably is to reduce waste, then recover surplus that remains. The final additional step – reinvest – is a data-backed, evidence-based idea to use savings and donations with the greatest impact.
The report covers:
Part 1. Reduce
Part 2. Recover
Part 3. Reinvest
To help address food waste, six key types of food waste in UK manufacturing are identified, as well as their root causes, innovative tech-enabled solutions, and a five-step reduction model.
Based on The Felix Project and FareShare expertise and best practice examples, the report explains the straightforward process to recover food surplus that can’t be prevented.
For those with no waste or who want to offer greater support, the report outlines how to reinvest the food waste savings along with other resources, such as donations and team capacity.
The research shaped The Felix Project and FareShare’s Policy Memo to the UK government asking it to incentivise and offset losses of revenue generated from sending surplus to animal feed and anaerobic digestion, and prevent surplus food from going to other lower value destinations like landfill. We all want a thriving, prosperous United Kingdom. And, more importantly, if food is available, there is a moral obligation for all of us to make sure it makes it to the table of families in need. If everybody gets involved in a meaningful way, we can genuinely make a step change in 2026.” Charlotte Hill OBE , CEO, The Felix Project and FareShare “
