Households wanted to take part in Zero Waste Food Challenge

Sharing as this sounds great! Sainsbury's are launching an initiative locally and those based in Camberwell, around Dog Kennel Hill estate and streets nearby welcome to participate - they need around 40 households to register... Will consider people in ED too.

ZERO WASTE KITCHEN CHALLENGE

What could you change with ?100?

We?re all passionate about the food we eat, yet each year in the UK we throw away 15 million tonnes of food and drink. Nearly half of this is perfectly good to eat. This amounts to around ?60 per week per household.

In 2016 Sainsbury?s launched Waste less Save more in order to help households to reduce their food waste and save on their food bills while meeting new people and learning new skills along the way.

This year Sainsbury?s are looking for 40 Camberwell households to take part in The Zero Waste Kitchen Challenge to build upon last year?s work. Households would ideally live on the Dog Kennel Hill Estate or around Camberwell Grove, Bromar Road, Grove Hill Road, Malfort Road or Ivanhoe Road. Participating households will receive ?50 of Sainsbury?s vouchers and ?50 to spend on products that help reduce food waste. The Zero Waste Kitchen Challenge will run from May to July 2017.

Participants will receive a food waste home consultation, invites to free cookery sessions and a Zero Waste Kitchen Handbook to assist in the selection of products. The products are designed to help with planning, storage and cooking. There will also be events and on-line support such as a Facebook group.

Be great to know how it goes and to what extent levels were reduced, best of luck.

They will also consider those in East Dulwich apparently :)

Most of our household waste is packaging. Sainsbury's could make a huge difference by using more biodegradable packaging and less plastic film wrap. Paper bags instead of plastic ones in the fruit and veg aisles would be great.

Seems to be a good idea. The of waste in each house will reduce.

There are still a few spaces if anyone is interested...
