Manufacturer of food waste disposers InSinkErator is supporting the first Food Waste Action Week which takes place March 1-7, 2021.

Food Waste Action Week is an initiative devised by WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme) that focusses on the message that ‘Wasting Food Feeds Climate Change’.

WRAP aims to encourage people to make lifestyle changes that benefit the environment by sharing statistics on the impact that food waste has on the world we live in.

For example, UK households throw away 4.5 million tonnes of edible food every year and wasted food accounts for more global greenhouse gas emissions than flying.

The initiative promotes reusing leftovers to create new dishes and storing food correctly to ensure all edible food is eaten.

InSinkErator is supporting Food Waste Action Week with social media activities and competitions to win a food waste disposer.

In addition, InSinkErator is providing support to the Watford Food Bank, which is situated near to its UK headquarters.

Marketing communications and customer service manager, Europe and Russia, for InSinkErator Anne Kaarlela said: “At InSinkErator, we champion the Food Waste Action Week initiative and believe it is necessary for us all to make lifestyle changes to protect the future of our planet.

“It is vital that we all understand the impact of our behaviour and the influence it has on the wider environment.

“At InSinkErator we will continue to educate consumers on the effect food waste has at landfill sites, while offering sustainable solutions to reduce the amount of food waste ending up in landfill.”

She continued: “Make sure to follow the campaign hashtag #FoodWasteActionWeek for hints, tips and recipe ideas, as well as InSinkErator social media channels for the chance to win a Good Housekeeping approved M 66 food waste disposer for your own home and reduce your carbon footprint.”
