This is in addition to food lost in the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the foodservice industry, it\u2019s estimated that \u00a32 trillion is lost from restaurants globally due to food waste, meaning a huge financial impact for a sector already under financial pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UK Foodservice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking closely at the UK, food waste remains a large concern. Business Waste report that food waste from restaurants alone could be worth \u00a3682 million.&nbsp; An estimated 10% of food bought by restaurants never reaches customers. But it\u2019s not just food. Foodservice businesses also experience additional waste from paper receipts, textile waste (damaged tableware and uniforms) as well as glass and plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, there is positive news. WRAP\u2019s Food Waste Reduction Roadmap saw a 10% increase in 2024 of food and drink businesses committed to taking positive action, and working towards the United Nation\u2019s Sustainable Development Goal 12.3 (SDG12.3), ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UK government has also introduced new waste laws. From March of this year (2025), businesses are required to separate food waste from other waste streams like recyclable materials. All businesses must comply, even if they don\u2019t serve food or have a kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With food, and hospitality waste impacting the environment as well as the economy, how can chefs and operators combat this challenge. The answer lies in small changes, with big impact!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"788\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Wrapmaster-Waste-Reduction-Calculator-Inline-Image-788x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Wrapmaster-Waste-Reduction-Calculator-Inline-Image-788x394.jpg 788w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Wrapmaster-Waste-Reduction-Calculator-Inline-Image-500x250.jpg 500w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Wrapmaster-Waste-Reduction-Calculator-Inline-Image-200x100.jpg 200w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Wrapmaster-Waste-Reduction-Calculator-Inline-Image-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insider.thewholesalegroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Wrapmaster-Waste-Reduction-Calculator-Inline-Image.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips on Reducing Waste&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Monitoring portion size.\u00a0 On average, 17% of food served to diners in the UK is left uneaten. For businesses who routinely see this wastage, it could be a good idea to modify sizing to reduce this waste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use seasonal produce.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensuring food and fresh ingredients are stored correctly. Tightly wrapping prepped food and storing ingredients in the fridge or freezer to help preserve them can help to reduce unnecessary food waste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce wasted wrap usage. With 92% of chefs agreeing that cling film is an essential tool in the kitchen, it plays an important role in preserving food and extending\u00a0 shelf life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traditional cardboard cutter boxes can contribute to waste too, with tangled, badly cut wrap and damaged packaging. Swapping to a Wrapmaster<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> dispenser can help alleviate this waste.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use recyclable and compostable alternative food wraps, and other equipment where possible!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Signing up to services like <em>Too Good To Go<\/em> or <em>Karma<\/em>.
