The conference, taking place on 9 March at the Wellcome Collection in London, will tackle issues such as procurement ‘bottlenecks’ brought on through legislation and TEEP requirements, as well as hearing about waste reduction initiatives and food waste treatment developments.
The conference will also hopefully provide the perfect platform to discuss the response to the consistency consultation, due in February.
Brought together will be key parts of the sector, including food waste processors and producers, waste management companies, local authorities and charities.

Agenda
The first session will see Lucy Hopwood, director and lead consultant for bioenergy & anaerobic digestion (AD) at the bioeconomy consultants NNFCC, speak on the current state of the AD market in the UK.
She will be followed by Peter Jones from Eunomia, who will break down the TEEP requirements. Other speakers include Chris Mills, special adviser for collections and recycling at WRAP, who will provide a cost and analysis report into food waste collection services.
Case studies
In the fourth session, Islington council’s waste strategy manager Matthew Homer will speak on the food waste collection trials that the local authority rolled out for some of its flats.
The session will continue with a talk about how we can make “actual” behaviour change. This will be followed by David Birley, WasteAware co-ordinator at Hertfordshire Waste Partnership discussing how food waste prevention can also help save money.
With ample time to network and to raise issues with speakers during the day, this is an unmissable event for anyone wanting to be a part of tackling food waste.
This year’s event is sponsored by: BioTech4, BritishBins, Drycake, Hillend Engineering, Keenan Recycling, Metrostor, Peter Ridley Waste Systems and Severn Trent Green Power.
