People across Britain are adding their voices to the Love Food Hate Waste campaign. Add your voice

ASDA has always hated waste of any kind and has a target of sending zero waste to landfill by 2010. We have been working with WRAP for many years and welcome and support their campaign to encourage people to ‘Love Food, Hate Waste’.
We are pleased to support the love food hate waste campaign. At the shop, we would rather order in or put by fresh products for customers than have too much stock. We also think the traditional habit of shopping locally and daily (for what you fancy for dinner that night or what’s fresh and seasonal) makes much more sense than shopping infrequently for large quantities of food … and then wasting a third.
BigBarn.co.uk, the online search for local foods, is proud to support Love Food Hate Waste. Food lovers can buy fresh, help cut food miles, save packaging and often money by buying direct from farmers, using our postcode search and emailed updates.
At Lakeland we have always believed in helping families to make the most of their kitchens by storing, preparing and enjoying good food. So that is why we are very happy to support the LFHW campaign..
Freezer bags were among the first products we ever sold 45 years ago, and today our range features an array of helpful ideas to keep food fresher for longer in the fridge, freezer and store cupboard – special Stayfresh Bags for fruit and veg, airtight storage boxes, superb quality foil and cling, thermometers, even a cushion to protect fresh produce.
You’ll also find lots of other innovative ideas to help you be thrifty with food, such as good-looking crocks to collect kitchen scraps for the compost heap, smoothie makers – such a great way of using up spare fruit – and a clever bag to stop bananas going black in the fridge. For these and many more bright ideas, visit www.lakeland.co.uk
Preventing waste is a high priority throughout our business and we fully support WRAP’s ‘Love Food, Hate Waste’ campaign. We source, process and pack most of the fresh food that we sell through our own facilities and with food that’s freshly prepared in-store being at the heart of what we do, we recognise the importance and value of nurturing food knowledge and skills in helping to reduce food waste. – Marc Bolland, Chief Executive, Wm Morrison Supermarkets PLC
Sainsbury’s is delighted to support WRAP’s ‘Love Food, Hate Waste’ campaign.
We are passionate about reducing our own waste as a business, as well as encouraging customers to reduce food waste at home. By providing delicious recipe ideas, for example on our ‘Try’ tip cards and online at sainsburys.co.uk, we hope to inspire customers to use up food in imaginative and creative ways. Hints and tips on storing food can be found on-pack and online to help customers use up all their food safely and efficiently. We are also committed to providing more smaller sized meals and ingredient packs for single portions and children.
We look forward to supporting WRAP in their bid to encourage people to ‘Love Food, Hate Waste’ and will work together to provide inspiring solutions for our customers.
“Tesco recognises the importance of food waste as an area of concern for our customers and also its link to climate change. We aim to minimise the food waste from our stores and are currently reviewing opportunities to divert all our food waste from landfill. This is relatively small in comparison to the 6.7 million tonnes of household food waste so it is important for us to look at ways of supporting our customer to help make change happen.That’s why I’m pleased to support WRAPs initiative to increase awareness of food waste and suggest practical steps we can all take to reduce it. For our part we are looking at a number of ways we can help customers reduce waste including improving understanding of use by dates and storage conditions, stocking products designed to help minimise waste and helping customers deal with waste from their kitchens in an environmentally friendly way”

“We’re passionate about protecting the environment – and so are our customers. We are constantly working across our business to minimise our environmental impact – for example cutting packaging by over a third in the last six years relative to sales.
“As a signatory to the Courtauld Commitment we’re dedicated to reducing our food waste and we welcome this WRAP campaign bringing the industry together to promote practical ways to help shoppers reduce their food waste too.”
