HOTPOINT LAUNCH #EAT YOUR FRIDGE CHALLENGE WITH JAMIE OLIVER

Hotpoint, the Whirlpool owned kitchen appliance brand, have launched the ‘Eat Your Fridge’ challenge with TV chef, Jamie Oliver. The challenge, which is part of Hotpoint’s Fresh Thinking for Forgotten Food Campaign, is asking UK consumers to have a week of mindful cooking with zero edible food waste. It comes off the back of Hotpoint’s long-term commitment to help consumers move to a zero-waste kitchen, and the brand are providing recipes, hacks and inspiration for consumer support. They also aim to showcase the brand’s products that can make a difference to household food waste. To promote the Fresh Thinking for Forgotten Food initiative, Hotpoint has launched a digital campaign, which includes on-demand advertising, a landing page on the Hotpoint website plus social media stories on Facebook and Instagram. Product video advertising will also be hosted on YouTube and various news websites, to highlight the technologies in Hotpoint appliances that help consumers reduce food waste, and drive footfall for their retailers. Hotpoint have also commissioned research to accompany the initiative – it found that Brits cook an average of two dishes each mealtime, in order to cater for dietary requirements. This contributes to over £1 billion worth of food a month ending up in the bin, and UK households are throwing away 7 million tonnes of food every year – enough to fill 40 million wheelie bins, or 100 Royal Albert Halls.

INSINKERATOR PUBLISHES INFOGRAPHIC TO TACKLE FOOD WASTE

InSinkErator, a food disposal and tap manufacturer, has launched a new infographic, in an attempt to change consumer behaviours towards throwing edible food in the bin. The infographic, which highlights the huge amount of food waste created by UK households, plus the reasons for households discarding the food and the emissions generated from food waste at landfill, has been created in response to shocking statistics about food waste in the UK. The UK produces 15 million tonnes of food waste a year, with seven million tonnes generated by households. Of the estimated seven million tonnes of food discarded by homes, nearly half of it is still edible. 74 per cent of households admitted to throwing food away due to the lack of a proper shopping list, while 24 per cent had forgotten what was in their fridge Anne Kaarlela, Marketing Communications Manager, Europe and Russia InSinkErator, said: “We hope this infographic will have a lasting impact on consumers and encourage households to take the necessary steps to reduce the amount of food waste that ends up in the bin and finally landfill.
