Straight from the horse’s mouth
Environmental communications specialists, Sauce Consultancy, teamed up with the CIWM to bring the media to the heart of the recycling and waste management industry. In acknowledgement of the increasing media and public interest in sustainability matters, this industry first took place on the Communications Hub at Futuresource, Europe’s sustainability event, and saw a host of speakers provide valuable insight into how the waste sector can engage with the media.

Some of this food waste is made up of peelings, cores and bones, however the majority is, or once was, perfectly good food. Not only are the environmental implications huge but the financial ones are too – it is costing us around £10 billion each year, which works out at an average cost of about £400 per year for every household.
