Tesco and Hubbub are collaborating on the No Time for Waste Challenge, seeking to reduce the 6.6 million tonnes of food wasted by UK households every year.

New polling commissioned by Tesco has revealed that food waste is down, as more people are finding ways to use our leftovers and cooking from scratch as the UK lockdown leads to a dramatic change in the nation’s food habits.

A six-week trial is now running with 55 households from across Britain, testing a series of interventions, from help with meal planning to leftover-inspired cooking sessions with professional chefs, to help them reduce their food waste. Families are logging and weighing their food waste daily to understand which interventions have the greatest impact.

The results of the trial will be used by Tesco and Hubbub to give further advice, guidance and encouragement helping households across the UK reduce food waste which is costing the average UK family of four £60 a month.
