20 Mar 2023 ---The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) aims to increase the amount of uncut fresh fruit and vegetables sold loose to 30% by the end of 2025 and aims to target 50% by the end of 2030. In 2021, the figure was 15%. The non-profit organization has published its “Pathway To Selling More Uncut Fresh Fruit And Vegetables Loose” report to reduce household food waste and single-use plastic packaging. WRAP asserts retailers should look to adopt key principles as they move toward selling more loose fresh produce. While the longer-term aim is to sell loose and only loose, investigations and process changes should continue and learnings and progress should be reviewed and accelerated wherever possible.
