WHY TALK ABOUT FOOD WASTE?
• 1.3 billion tonnes of food waste annually globally
• Yet 820 million people did not have enough to eat in
2018
• 10 million tonnes from the UK alone in 2015
• 600,000 tons of plastic waste gets into the
Mediterranean Sea alone every year
• 2.2 million tonnes of plastic being placed on the
market per year
• Food waste in landfill produces methane, which is
25 times more potent than carbon dioxide
• 60% of food packaging is waste, 99% is made from
carbon and is predicted it will account for 13% of all
green house gas emissions by 2050
WHAT ARE THE UK GOVERNMENT
AND OTHERS DOING?
• Targets E.g.,
• UN Sustainable Development Goal 12.3 calls for
halving food waste by 2030
• Funding E.g.,
• £15m scheme to help tackle food waste in the UK -
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cutting-food-waste-game-changing-fund-opens
• Peer Group initiatives E.g.,
• The UK plastics pact, 4 targets and 78 business
members (WRAP)
• Making the business case. E.g.,
• average business able to achieve a 14:1 positive return
on investment (WRAP and The World Resources
Institute)
• Regulation…

Waste in food and drink industry
• “Food waste is any food, and inedible parts of food, removed from
the food supply chain to be recovered or disposed (including
composted, crops ploughed in/not harvested, anaerobic digestion,
bio-energy production, co-generation, incineration, disposal to
sewer, landfill or discarded to sea)”.

WHAT IS R&D FOR TAX PURPOSES
According to HMRC research and development takes place when a project seeks to achieve
1. an advance in science or technology
2. through the resolution of scientific or technological uncertainty
WHAT IS R&D FOR TAX PURPOSES
 Create a process, material, device, product or service which incorporates
or represents an increase in overall knowledge or capability in a field of
science or technology
 Make an appreciable improvement to an existing process, material,
device, product or service through scientific or technological change
 Use science or technology to duplicate an existing process, material
device, product or service in a new or appreciably improved way
 Key questions:
 What is the advance being sought?
 What uncertainties were encountered?
R&D SUCCESSES IN THE FOOD & DRINK SECTOR
Dairy processing
Advance in knowledge sought:
Process innovations to reduce waste and improve efficiency of production.
Research into on-farm causes of variations in raw materials.
Key uncertainties:
Uncertainty over whether the changes were technologically feasible.
No published research on the causes of the variations
Tax savings - £40,000 over 3 years
R&D SUCCESSES IN THE FOOD & DRINK SECTOR
Food manufacturing
Advance in knowledge sought:
Creating a new version of an existing product with a different flavour
Key uncertainties:
How to maintain the product’s traditional texture and consistency
Overcoming production problems due to use of new ingredients
Tax savings >£130,000 over three years
R&D SUCCESSES IN THE FOOD & DRINK SECTOR
Snack manufacturing
Advance in knowledge sought:
Doubling the shelf life of packaged snacks
Key uncertainties:
Identifying key factors affecting shelf life and measuring impact
Feasibility of producing raw materials incorporating changes to these key factors
Tax savings - £38,000 over 2 years
CAN YOU MAKE A CLAIM?
Are you an innovative company?
Do you use technology to improve your products or processes?
Failure is not a barrier to making a claim!
A claim may still possible even if the R&D is grant funded, or if you are undertaking R&D for a
customer.
You have up to two years for the end of the accounting period in which the qualifying costs
were incurred in which to make a claim via the company’s corporation tax return.
