In the past year, our total food handled has increased by >700 tonnes and our internal controls have maintained our food waste at around 0.5%.

Aquascot is part of the industry-wide “Food Waste Reduction Roadmap” led by IGD (Institute of Grocery Distribution) & WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme), helping the UK food industry achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 12.3 to halve food waste by 2030.
