Businesses often struggle to access and share consistent environmental impact data, hindering effective action to tackle and accurately report their environmental impact. The LED 4 Food project, delivered by WRAP and partners including Oxford University and WWF, aims to overcome this barrier by improving the understanding, reporting, and management of environmental impacts within the food system. Funded by Defra, this research project focuses on enhancing the quality and availability of standardised environmental impact data and infrastructure.

A practical guide for businesses to identify opportunities for transitioning to reusable and refillable packaging, reducing environmental impact by moving away from single-use plastics. 

PackFlow Refresh 2023: A review of the quantity of packaging placed on the market and recycled in 2022 with compliance projections to 2028

Galvanising the entire plastics value chain around a common roadmap for flexible plastic packaging. 

A consistent methodology for businesses to measure and track progress in reducing supply chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

This report provides estimates of the quantity and types of food and drink waste generated by households Northern Ireland (NI) in 2021/22. The report also looks at the reasons for discarding, the financial cost, and the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to wasted food.

Terminology can inadvertently imply use or value, which can lead to barriers or opportunities in how textiles are considered or handled. A lack of standardisation, clarity and consistency among stakeholders in the textiles sector is an issue that inhibits partnerships, policy development, and can prevent progress towards a circular textiles economy.

Produced in association with RECOUP this guide provides and highlights priority issues reported by those sorting and reprocessing rigid plastic packaging, together with solutions.

This Data Capture Sheet supports the principles to Target, Measure and Act on food waste in support of UN Sustainable Development Goal 12.3, and complies with the international Food Loss & Waste Standard.

This publication and accompanying tool support people across the food supply chain, particularly those calculating the water footprint of food and setting science-based targets, to:

• Better understand and connect food loss and waste reductions with their efforts to reduce systems-wide water use.
• Calculate and communicate the environmental benefits of FLW reductions.
• Link those benefits to their science-based water use reduction targets.

These resources lay the foundation for guidance to organisations and governments in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) who are seeking to measure and tackle the water footprint associated with food imports, food waste and redistributed food.
