Hospitality Industry: Recycling
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the readiness of businesses in the hospitality industry for the implementation of the mandatory separation of food waste from recycling from 31 March 2025.
Answered by Mary Creagh
We are working closely with industry partners such as UK Hospitality, the Hospitality Sector Council, and Food and Drink Federation to raise awareness of the requirements and understand the sector’s readiness, which has included hosting a sector specific webinar with the hospitality sector. Our understanding of readiness of the sector is also informed by ongoing discussions with the waste collection industry.
Furthermore, we are actively responding to queries and publishing guidance in partnership with WRAP to further support the sector’s readiness.
