The Shortlist is announced for the 2025 waste2zero Awards

The judging has concluded and we are delighted to announced the Shortlist for the 2025 cycle of waste2zero, the awards scheme that recognises excellence in Waste Management and Prevention in the out of home food and drink sector.

Among the many areas of business that organisations seek to mitigate in pursuit of sustainability, waste is one that will just not go away.

Waste remains endemic and one of the biggest global challenges today. In the out of home sector, arguably the two biggest areas of waste are food and packaging. Food is still wasted at every stage of the supply chain – much of it before it even reaches the table – whilst packaging – a necessary evil for the food industry in its current form – creates its own environmental issues with production and disposal.

Much best practice is in evidence; but remarkably, given the amount of attention paid to the subject in the workplace, an unacceptable waste culture remains prevalent.

The objective of waste2zero – the first awards of its kind when it was launched in 2017 and now in its ninth annual cycle – is to specifically give the out of home industry a platform to showcase best practice and recognise excellence in this vital area.

The winners will be announced at the waste2zero awards dinner on Thursday 20th November at the famous In & Out Club in London’s St.James’s Square. Book Tickets HERE
