European Week for Waste Reduction is underway – let's keep it plain and simple.
From 18th to 26th November, European Week for Waste Reduction takes place, with the aim of encouraging people to reduce unnecessary consumption, make better use of items and thereby reduce the generation of waste. Companies, local authorities, institutions, schools and the general public are encouraged to do their bit to reduce the use of single-use packaging.
This year's theme is packaging: Let's go unwrapped!

The project's organisers Together against waste have prepared simple promotional material for companies and individuals who want to try out packaging-free and reusable solutions during Efficiency Week. The material is based on guidelines of the Food Standards Agency.
