✅ #WASTEWISE developed a product-level #database on food loss & waste, covering 53 items across 12 food groups 🥝🥕🥩🐠 Aligned with EU #FoodWaste reporting, it uses a common framework to support research & action 🌍 Learn more 🔗 wastewise-project.eu/2025/11/18/a... @scienceinnovation.ec.europa.eu

✅ Combining #FoodWaste data with #LCA helps reveal the real environmental impact of waste and identify the best strategies. ⚠️ But methodological gaps still exist 🎯 #WASTEWISE proposes a systematic framework to bridge this gap. 🔗 wastewise-project.eu/2025/11/25/f... @scienceinnovation.ec.europa.eu

✅ CONCLUSION of research into the assessment of #FoodWaste #regulations in #EU countries ➡️ The #WASTEWISE analysis reveals that food loss & waste #FLW prevention remains underutilised as a #climate policy lever🌱 Learn more 🔗 wastewise-project.eu/2025/12/10/a... @scienceinnovation.ec.europa.eu

On #InternationalWomensDay we echo insights from the European Commission: women across Europe show stronger concern for #ClimateChange. Women are more likely to: 🌍 See climate change as a serious problem ♻️ Separate waste for recycling 🚯 Reduce disposable items 🥗 Reduce meat consumption #IWD26

⚖️ The new EU #WasteDirective 2025 introduces legally binding targets to reduce #FoodWaste. In our view, this is an ambitious and necessary objective, with both strengths & weaknesses. Below are the initial #statements from our coordination team @luke.fi ℹ️ wastewise-project.eu/2025/11/20/w...
