Retail Supply Chain
It is estimated that approximately 500,000 tonnes of packaging and 650,000 tonnes of food waste are thrown out by Scottish households each year.
WRAP Scotland will be continuing to work with the retail supply chain to set challenging targets for reducing packaging and food waste, and increasing the use of recycled content. We will be extending this work to major brands and DIY chains, and be working with retailers and the Government to reduce the impact of single use carrier bags.
With manufacturers, WRAP will direct existing expertise on materials and products to larger waste streams and difficult materials, prioritising plastics, glass, paper and wood.
