This study aims to evaluate the strength of various indicators related to seven types of food consumption motives, sustainable food choices, and food waste management variables in distinguishing the motivation and latent behaviour of Generation Z Indonesia through Item Response Theory analysis....

Household food waste poses a serious threat to planetary boundaries, particularly regarding water use, since it translates directly into unnecessary consumption of virtual water, contributing to freshwater depletion and threatening water security in water-scarce regions. This study examines how...

Food waste (FW) has become a major concern in the global era, which is affecting the societal environment and economy consistently. Rising population and urbanization have increased food production and consumption, especially in developing countries like Bangladesh. Due to limited recycling and...

Food waste represents a serious issue for both the environment and society. Previous research has investigated the antecedents of food waste behavior, focusing on various demographic and psychological factors. While moral norms such as personal concern and responsibility have been studied, their...

Despite growing awareness of the importance of waste prevention in circular economy transitions, substantial volumes of reusable items continue to be discarded. This exploratory case study investigates consumer behavior at a Swedish recycling center, focusing on decisions made at the point of...

Purpose: The consumption of high levels of natural resources by Hotels, Restaurants and Catering -HORECA- has a significant impact on the environment. This paper examined the evolution of food waste and loss management in HORECA Supply Chain.Design/methodology/approach: A mixed methodology is...

The Commission carried out a study to look at consumer behaviours concerning food waste and date marking. The study covered over 25000 participants from across all 27 EU Member States, who were asked to report on how they manage food in their daily lives through a survey. Based on their...

Securing national regulation(s) on food loss and waste (FLW) is essential for the effective, comprehensive, and unified management and policy implementation of FLW, ensuring standards are consistent countrywide and local initiatives and targets are aligned with national waste reduction goals....

This paper examines the link between dynamically inconsistent time preferences and individual food waste behavior. Food waste is conceptualized as unintentional outcome of choices along the food consumption chain. Capitalizing on a nationally representative longitudinal survey from Germany, we...

This paper examines the causal impacts of reducing solid waste imports on water quality in China, which was the world’s largest importer of waste until recently. We focus on the National Sword policy, introduced at the end of 2017, which abruptly banned the import of plastics, textiles,...

Food waste is a critical global issue with significant environmental, economic, and social implications. In Indonesia, one of the world's largest food-wasting countries, urban centers such as Bandung City face growing challenges in managing household food waste. The limited capacity of municipal...

Since various food date labeling (FDL) systems exist worldwide, consumers' confusion and misunderstanding of FDL are unavoidable, which may result in a large amount of food waste at the consumer stage. To what extent consumers' FDL cognition affects their food waste behaviors and intentions has...

Food consumption habits are one of the most direct and active forms of consumer behaviour through which individuals impact their environment. This behaviour does not evolve in isolation; rather, it is influenced by a variety of factors, including guilt. Within the context of sustainability,...

Fruit peels that are usually discarded as agricultural residues serve as a rich source of various nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals, necessary for the growth and development of any fish. Moreover, their low cost and available nutritional composition provide a...

Given the profound social, economic, and environmental consequences of food waste, identifying effective and timely strategies to mitigate this issue is imperative. While prior research has explored the connection between consumers' misunderstanding of food date labeling (FDL) and food waste,...

Food waste is a global systemic issue that poses major threats in economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Recent policy efforts have primarily targeted households, as they are responsible for most food wasted. However, for these policies to be effective, they must account for...

The relationship between food sources and food waste handling behaviour, though important in designing food waste reduction interventions, has been largely overlooked. In this context, this study investigates how food sources influence food waste behaviour. Specifically, it compares food waste...

Vast quantities of food are lost along the food value chain. Although much is known about losses at the consumer level, relatively little is known about the producer level. Using a qualitative approach, this study examines farmers' views on vegetable losses in potatoes, carrots, onions, tomatoes...

Food loss and waste (FLW) is a global challenge. Interoperable FLW ontologies will foster more comprehensive data sharing and inform better solutions to reduce and recover excess food and to valorize wasted food and food byproducts. This review reveals that only eight ontologies currently...

Food loss and waste are increasingly recognized as the outcomes of complex, interconnected social and environmental dynamics rather than isolated individual choices. In this study, we adopt a complex systems approach to explore how micro-level behaviors and interactions within commercial dining...

Over the recent decades, China has witnessed a significant increase in household income, while food waste has also been on the rise. Food waste has an impact on the environment as it increases carbon emissions, which may hinder the realization of China's emission reduction targets. However, the...
