It’s Food Waste Action Week (March 17–23rd March), and the team at Kai Commitment, the voluntary agreement driving action on food waste in New Zealand, have developed a new tool to help businesses get started on reducing food waste – Food Waste Rapid
This practical guide supports businesses at any stage of their food waste action journey – whether you’re just starting out or have a plan in place but are keen to align with the latest best practices.
The tool offers actionable steps to:
• Identify areas where food waste occurs within your operations.
• Implement strategies to reduce waste effectively.
• Measure progress to ensure continuous improvement.
The tool is designed to help businesses achieve significant benefits, including cost savings, enhanced operational efficiency, and strengthened sustainability practices. Reducing food waste is also a great way to contribute to a more efficient, resilient, and sustainable food system that benefits everyone.
