ACR+ member Zero Waste Scotland has launched the Community Fridge Fund 2023. The fund gives applicants like community groups, charities, and local businesses the power to tackle food waste and increase security by hosting a community fridge. Community fridges are a means of redistributing unwanted or surplus food, preventing it from going to waste and providing good food to citizens for free.
Redirecting good food from going to waste can help organisations meet their own sustainability ambitions, showcase awareness and responsiveness to customer demand for sustainable action, and help close the gap on Scotland's food waste reduction targets. For settings that already operate a food redistribution service, successfully applying to the Community Fridge Fund can help them access a valuable network of fellow circular economy pioneers. From 3 October potential applicants will be able to register their interest and receive an expression of interest form via the Zero Waste Scotland website.
