Olympia London will join forces with Wrap next month in a new campaign to tackle food waste.

The exhibition and conference centre is signing its on-site catering partners up to the campaign, spearheading the message ‘your business is food; don’t throw it away’.

The venue is tracking waste by measuring deteriorated food, preparation waste, inedible waste and plate waste.

It is inviting all staff to get involved and measure their own food waste during September, and is offering tips on portion control to reduce plate waste, planning meals and shopping smarter to avoid food going out of date.

All participants are invited to record their own food waste and share experiences with colleagues, friends and social media.
