Food waste plan frustrated by DEFRA’s lack of support

Waste company ReFood published a ‘roadmap to zero food waste to landfill’ report on 11 November following two year’s work by its Vision 2020 campaign.¹

Vision 2020 wants the UK to stop landfilling food waste by 2020. It asks government to impose a landfill ban and introduce mandatory food waste collections for homes and businesses.

But DEFRA minister Dan Rogerson has slammed the door on the plan by saying the department will do little on waste policy in the run up to the 2015 election.
