You could start with a 20% target for the first month and then review how achievable this is over the year. If you want to align with global targets, consider using either the Courtauld Committment 2030, UK Food Waste Reduction Roadmap or the UN Sustainable Development Goal 12.3 target. This is a food waste reduction target of 50% by 2030.
