Is your school keen to reduce lunchbox waste?

North East Waste in collaboration with Council and the NSW Government’s Love Food Hate Waste Program, is seeking expressions of interest from primary schools to join the Love Your Lunch Program in Term 4, 2021. The program is based at your school for students aged K-6 operates under a NSW Government Covid-19 Safety Plan and any guidelines set by the school. The Love your Lunch Program tackles the challenges of reducing lunchbox food and packaging waste, healthy eating, reducing school waste and also food waste reduction amongst families. The aim is to provide students with the inspiration and skills needed to make or pack their own lunches, which has been shown through recent Australian pilot studies to reduce the amount of food left uneaten at school.
