Implications of shopper attitudes to food planning, recycling and waste

  
Download a free sample extract

IGD’s Beyond Packaging: Food Waste in the Home report explores shoppers’ attitudes to packaging, recycling and food waste in the home to provide an understanding on the role shoppers believe the food industry can play in reducing waste.

Of the 27m tonnes of domestic waste dumped in landfill in the UK last year, nearly 20% was food-waste – either unused, ‘gone off’ or thrown away as leftovers.

But consumers are wising up to this. They’re composting more, and - here’s the big opportunity for retailers and manufacturers – are increasingly conscious of the environmental and financial cost of food waste and making purchasing and consumption decisions accordingly; looking for more appropriate portion sizes, seeking longer shelf lives and resealable packaging, planning their shopping or shopping online to reduce duplicate purchases, seeking innovative ways to use left-overs and so on.

So how can suppliers and retailers harness these trends to secure a competitive advantage? Find out in this new consumer research.
