Petition for edible food waste ban open until August 11, 2026

A petition calling for a law to ban supermarkets from throwing away edible food is open for signatures until August 11, 2026. If it reaches 10,000 signatures, the government will respond, and 100,000 signatures could lead to a parliamentary debate. The UK government currently relies on voluntary schemes and partnerships with charities rather than legislation.
