    The new era of da­ta re­porting le­gal re­qui­re­ments to re­du­ce food was­te for a cir­cu­lar eco­no­my

    The emerging duties of data collection and reporting reflect a trend that is expected to be extended to food waste in the drive for sustainability and a circular economy. Although there are numerous individual projects addressing food waste there is currently little composite information on waste disposal within the food waste industry. As initially flagged by the Dimbleby National Food Strategy (NFS), the Westminster government is now addressing measures to gather data to better understand food waste systems and practices. Government is calling on industry to assist in gathering information...

    The fu­ture of food la­bel­ling – in­for­ming wi­thout mis­lea­ding

    The Competitions and Marketing Authority (“CMA”) has announced it is reviewing the accuracy of environmental claims made in the food and drink sector. Food business operators (“FBOs”) are encouraged to review the green claims policies as a result, or risk being subject to a CMA investigation, which is much more costly and intrusive than an Advertising Standards Agency complaint.We have previously reported that "the future of food labelling" is moving towards providing consumers with the information they require to make more sustainable purchasing decisions. The challenge...

    A look in­to the up­co­m­ing de­po­sit re­turn sche­mes

    SummaryA new deposit return scheme (“DRS”) is being introduced in Scotland this year with further DRSs being introduced in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in 2025. DRSs are a way of encouraging more people to recycle drinks containers, such as bottles and cans. They work by charging anyone who buys a qualifying drink a small deposit for the bottle or can that it comes in. The customer gets this money back when they return the bottle or can to a collection point to be recycled.Under the Deposit and Return Scheme for Scotland Regulations 2020 (as amended) (the “Regulations”),...

    GB PL
    Możliwość prowadzenia sprzedaży alkoholu online od wielu lat stanowi gorący temat na polskim rynku. Rozwój sektora e-commerce, przyspieszony jeszcze przez pandemię covid-19 spowodował, że większość sklepów, nie tylko tych największych, umożliwia zakupy z dostawą do domu. Kwestia zgodności z prawem sprzedaży alkoholu za pośrednictwem internetu nie jest jednak oczywista, w związku z czym część przedsiębiorców nie zdecydowała się dotychczas na taką formę...

    To mo­di­fy or not to mo­di­fy? Ge­ne­tic Mo­di­fi­ca­ti­on and Ge­ne Edit­ing – A di­ver­gence by the UK

    Against the backdrop of the cost-of-living crisis it is argued that the UK could bolster food security, combat climate change and lower food prices by relaxing the rules on and around genetic engineering. By designing more resistant crops which are less reliant on fertiliser and are more nutritious, progress could be made. On the other hand, this may be a short-sighted approach to deregulation and taking the risk could result in disastrous consequences. The Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Bill 2022 The arguments are surfacing as The Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Bill (GT (PB)...
