  • "Can Surplus Food Solve London's Hunger Crisis?" with Paul Baines from 'The Felix Project'
    Jun 18 2025

    Can a broken food system be fixed by businesses across the capital?

    Our guest on this week's epsiode is Paul Baines from The Felix Project, a leading food redistribution charity tackling food poverty head-on in London.

    Paul shares how The Felix Project is rescuing surplus food from going to waste and delivering it to those who need it most — from school children to vulnerable families. We explore the scale of food waste in the UK, the logistical challenges of redistribution, and the powerful social and environmental impact of their work.

    Plus we discuss how through our partnership with The Felix Project, businesses can ramp up their food waste strategy and reduce waste whilst helping those most in need.

  • “How green is your cup of coffee?” with Caffé Nero's Matt Spencer
    Jul 25 2024

    The UK coffee industry is huge and still growing - and as the amount of coffee being consumed on the go increases, so does the potential for these coffee cups to end up in landfill.

    Our guest today is Matt Spencer, Commercial Director of Caffé Nero who joined us to discuss how they’re getting ahead of the upcoming ‘Simpler Recycling Reforms’ which will change the way businesses recycle their food waste and coffee cups from next year, as well as the operational challenges of making a multinational retailer like Caffé Nero sustainable.

  • "How businesses can fight Food Waste" with Too Good To Go's Jamie Crummie
    Apr 24 2024

    Every year we throw away around 9.5 million tonnes of food waste every year, most of which will end up in landfills where it decomposes and releases harmful gas such as methane.

    In this episode of Climate Heroes, we sat down with Jamie Crummie, Co-founder of the Too Good To Go app responsible for saving over 300 million meals from going to waste.

    Listen to Jamie & Bruce discuss the importance of Stop Food Waste Day, what we can all do to fight the food waste epidemic, as well as how businesses can get prepared for the upcoming ‘Simpler Recycling Reforms’ which will legally require businesses to recycle their surplus food from next year.
