Eco- Waste Week 2026

Date: 10th Mar 2026 @ 4:54pm

Waste Week is a national campaign aimed at helping schools reduce food and plastic waste while engaging students in sustainability education.

This year we are focusing on reducing food waste in school and also at home.

Over 10 million tonnes of food ​are wasted in the UK every year!​ Wasting food wastes ​money, water, energy, and time.

When we waste food, ​we also waste all the resources used to grow, transport, and store it.

The law says: schools cannot mix food waste with other waste. Schools must recycle food properly.​ Schools must sort all recyclables​ (paper, glass, metal, food etc.).

Our Eco Warriors will be ensuring everything gets recycled correctly and less food is wasted at lunchtime.
