Details

This one-off publication linked a Waste and Recyling Action Plan (WRAP) survey of 鈥楬ousehold Food and Drink Waste in the UK鈥�, to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs鈥� (Defra) 鈥楩amily Food 2008鈥� report. Results from both surveys had already been published separately. Linking the two surveys was done by mapping the food waste findings to food purchase categories. The precision of the estimates is limited by the precision of the two surveys, and the figures quoted are rounded to appropriate significant figures to take this into account.
