Use-up day and flexible recipes: Reducing household food waste by helping families prepare food they already have 

Our scientific, peer-reviewed paper “Use-up Day and Flexible Recipes: Reducing household food waste by helping families prepare food they already have” is out in Resources, Conservation & Recycling!

An estimated 1,300,000,000 tonnes of food is wasted annually and a staggering 60% of this happens in people’s homes. 

Hellmann's partnered with BEworks as well as WRAP, Paul Jeffrey, Erica van Herpen and Paul van der Werf, to create an impactful behaviour change programme to help households be more resourceful with their food and waste less.

We tested our approach in two randomized-controlled studies, showing that when people choose one Use Up Day in the week and make a meal with food they already have, using an easy and flexible 3+1 approach, they achieved up to a 33% reduction in food waste.
