New research released by WRAP shows that the UK’s hospitality and food service sector is facing an annual bill in excess of £2.5 billion for food waste. The report, Overview of waste in the UK Hospitality and Food Service (HaFS) sector,also predicts that this figure could rise beyond £3 billion by 2016 unless steps are taken to prevent food being wasted. The equivalent of 1.3 billion meals are wasted annually in UK’s Hospitality and Food Service Sector. Further information:
