1 A new action plan for food recycling WRAP support for food waste recycling Mike Falconer Hall, Organics Programme Manager

2

3 Around 7 million tonnes of food is thrown away by households in the UK every year. Lack of feed stock is consistently stated as being a major barrier to the sustainability of the UK AD industry. If % recycling target is to be met food waste a key waste. Why is an action plan needed?

4 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Metal packaging Glass Paper & Board Plastic Textiles & Footwear Garden waste Food waste WEEE & other scrap metal Other (including wood) Capture rate by material 2013/14

5 Fortnightly food mixed with garden 13% Fortnightly Separate food waste 1% Weekly food mixed with garden waste 6% No collection 55% Weekly separate food waste 25% Majority of households in England still don t receive a food waste collection

6 The amount of food waste collected by local authorities varies widely Weekly separate food waste collections: Yields of food waste (kg/hh/wk) by authority

7 To participate in a food waste service householders need

8 21.21% Liners provided to hh No liners provided to hh 78.79% Provision of liners to householders 9

9 WRAP tested a package of interventions to improve the performance of hh food waste collections

10 32% increase in food waste yields (kg/hh/wk) where the intervention was a package comprising caddy liners, leaflet and residual bin sticker kg/hh/wk Before After Before After

11 Project Description: To work with industry stakeholders to develop and deliver an action plan for England (Food Waste Recycling Action Plan) detailing specific actions that: - helps food waste collectors to maximize the amount of food waste they collect; - secures the supply of food waste as a key feedstock to the AD & IVC sector. Food Waste Recycling Action Plan

12 Partnership working Engagement with both industry and local authorities Develop new tools and guidance Potential to evolve outputs and income sources Disseminate WRAP insights How?

13 Input to communications programmes Profit share arrangement Penalties for contamination Input to communications programmes Variable gate fees Supply / subsidy of liners Supply / subsidy of liners Provision of digestate / compost Provision of biofuel to Council Local Authorities Treatment Operators Incentives not currently employed

14 Aim: To identify contractual mechanisms / options available to treatment operators and collectors to incentivise local authorities to maximise the amount of food waste supplied to treatment plants. Cost/Benefit analysis showed that Contractual mechanisms can be used to fund the cost of the interventions. Contractual mechanisms project

15 Financial benefit Variable Gate Fees Authority funds incentive, Operator offers discount Gate fee discount: 4.25 Cost of interventions: 0.74 Expected uplift Break Even Point Additional yield needed before both parties experience a benefit: 8.3 kg/hh/yr Uplift kg/hh/yr WDA Financial Benefit / hh/yr Plant Operator Financial Benefit /hh/yr

16 Cost of interventions shared between local authority and operator Expected uplift

17 Action Plan Steering group; Cost Benefit tool; Develop the Action plan to deliver; Increased food waste recycling Benefits to local authorities from avoided disposal Benefits to plant operators from increased throughputs Next steps:

18 To act as facilitator and secretariat; To project lead and manage the delivery of some of the specific actions. Industry partners and Local Authorities will identify the barriers and what actions need to be taken and by whom to overcome them. The Action plan will influence the future direction and development of food waste recycling in the UK; What is WRAP s role?

19 Thank you Any questions? Mike Falconer Hall
