Food waste prevention efforts in Spain

Overview

Efforts to reduce food waste in Spain are progressing through a combination of corporate initiatives and legislative frameworks. Private sector actions include donation programs, such as Galletas Gullón’s plan which has distributed approximately 145 tons of products over four years, and collaborative projects like the Simbiored operational group. The latter has secured nearly 600,000 euros in public funding to reintroduce products into the food chain and market ‘imperfect’ produce through 2029.

Following the implementation of Spain’s food waste prevention law, the agro-industrial sector and large-scale restaurants are beginning to adapt to new regulations. While household food waste has reportedly decreased by 20% over the last five years, concerns have emerged regarding the lack of deployment by autonomous communities. To address this, the government announced a national plan to be launched before the end of the year to provide legal certainty and establish coordinated controls across administrative levels.
