Australia wastes 7.6 million tonnes of food every year, which is equivalent to 946 semi-trailers of food wasted every day. 42% of that comes directly from the commercial sector. This is waste that happens before food even reaches supermarket shelves, let alone our homes.

Australia is committed to halving food waste by 2030, and the manufacturing sector has an important role to play…

Hear from some of Australia’s top food-industry executives as they share the main activities their companies are taking to tackle food waste, both internally and across their supply chain. They will explore the challenges and opportunities they experience in their sustainability journeys and what their future state looks like. Yume’s Founder and food-waste expert, Katy Barfield, will also share her learnings and how Yume technology is helping these companies reduce food waste in their supply chain by ensuring excess food is sold or donated.

This members-only event will be an excellent opportunity to hear from colleagues, share experiences and come together with the collective purpose of driving forward the conversation of food waste prevention in Australia.
