In seeking to reduce waste and increase recycling FDF members look to Government and the Mayor to provide clear, joined-up policy which does not inhibit businesses in making medium to long term investment decisions.

FDF response to consultation on the Mayor's draft Business Waste Management Strategy

FDF members have been working to optimise their use of packaging and to reduce food and packaging waste arisings for some years. Under our Five-fold Environmental Ambition members are committed to sending zero food and packaging waste to landfill by 2015 at the latest and making a significant contribution to WRAP's Courtauld Commitment 2 target to reduce product and packaging waste in the supply chain by 5% by end of 2012 against a 2009 baseline.
