Cat Deeley champions second-hand clothes as part of Oxfam's #SecondHandSeptember, saying: "You can find something completely unique, which no one else has, that you can customise and also feel really good about wearing, knowing the money has gone to a good cause and you're giving those clothes a second chance of life. Second-hand absolutely does not mean second best." Oxfam are also teaming up with Vinted to present its "Style for Change" catwalk event showcasing sustainable fashion on September 12, marking the start of #LondonFashionWeek. https://lnkd.in/dXZcPRA8

Local authorities in England can access free support for the implementation of weekly #FoodWaste collections. With requirements to implement weekly food waste collections to all non-household municipal premises by 31 March 2025 and all households by 31 March 2026, local authorities in England face a significant challenge with the urgent requirement to procure suitable vehicles and containers. We've been working with Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, major manufacturers and Public Buying Organisations over the past few years to work through the capacity constraints. Expressions of Interest are now open. The first call for EOIs closes on 6 September 2024 at 17:00. The second call closes on 18 October 2024 at 17:00.

British retailer Marks and Spencer are looking to address the massive environmental impact of textile waste. With 1.6 billion items of clothing in UK wardrobes that aren’t being worn, M&S want to offer customers the opportunity to give their clothes 'another life' through a partnership with clothing repair experts, SOJO. You can now request your clothes are repaired via the ‘M&S fixed by SOJO’ online hub. They'll also repair clothes that weren't purchased from M&S too. Prices start at £5. https://lnkd.in/dtHypzU6

Eating a 🍌 at 120mph may be messy, but its easier when you buy loose! But there are so many other reasons to buy unpackaged food. Our research has shown that if all apples, bananas and potatoes were sold loose, we could save 60,000 tonnes of food waste. Join in #LoveFoodHateWaste's #VegUnwrapped campaign by taking a 'veg selfie' with your favourite fruit or veg that you’ve bought loose. https://lnkd.in/efknDjwV
#VegUnwrapped #vegunwrapped Wrap UK WHY YOU SHOULD BUY LOOSE FRUIT AND VEG: 🍓Buying loose can reduce food waste by up to 60,000 tonnes a year (THATS 8.2 MILLION SHOPPING BASKETS WORTH OF FOOD!) 🍊In the UK a household of 4 wastes on average £1000 worth of food that could have been eaten every year! 🍍We could prevent more than 10,300 tonnes of plastic ending up in the environment 🍌It’s easier to take on skydives!

70% of fresh water supplies are used by agricultural supply chains. A stable supply of good-quality water can no longer be relied upon in many of the world’s food growing regions. During World Water Week we’re sharing stories from an innovative project we’re working on with WWF South Africa to protect water catchments, build resilience in our food systems and support local communities. Discover more about the work we’re doing to reduce water risk and improve food security: https://lnkd.in/d2muirBc This is possible due to the collective support and funding from our important project partners Tesco, Sainsbury's’s, Co-op, Marks and Spencer, Lidl GB, Waitrose & Partners, Ocado Retail, Asda, Morrisons, AMFRESH Group, Worldwide Fruit Limited, BerryWorld UK and PrepWorld. #WWWeek

This is World Water Week #WWWeek - themed on Bridging Borders: Water for a Peaceful and Sustainable Future. We WRAP are invested in working with partners and companies in our voluntary agreement with food & drink sector - Courtauld 2030 - through our Water Roadmap Collective Action projects in UK & around the world. We mapped key sourcing areas for our fresh produce which are also areas of water- risk and came to a list of 20 places where action is badly needed. With demand for fresh water expected to exceed supply in the coming years, only through collective action can we protect whole water catchments, build resilience in our food systems and support local people, meeting their needs too - with partners WWF-UK WWF-Kenya WWF South Africa The Rivers Trust Norfolk Rivers Trust & so many more. These projects are super-ambitious because if we dont tackle the issues at the level of the whole catchment, any one person's efforts can be too easily undermined by people over-abstracting or polluting the water upstream or downstream. Water is a shared resource and collective action has to be the way ahead. It is easier said than done but we are making some progress - although there's a long, long way to go.
