A collaborative project between Mark Murphy Dole, Scottish Wholesale Association, and Zero Waste Scotland to explore food waste reduction opportunities in the wholesale sector, which took place from autumn 2023 to spring 2024.
Central to this project was the Zero Waste Scotland One Month Challenge,
Zerowastescotland.org.uk/one-month-challenge, which sets out four steps to tackling food waste; helping the business to assess current food waste data, measure food waste, analyse findings and develop an action plan. Following this, to develop in-depth understanding of how and where food waste arises in the company’s operation, an observational food waste audit was carried out, which provided recommendations for further action.
