5. 3. Supermarket food waste : prevention and management with the focus on reduced waste for reduced carbon footprint

   Author : Mattias Eriksson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Food waste occurs along the entire food supply chain and gives rise to great financial losses and waste of natural resources. The retail stage of the supply chain contributes significant masses of waste. Causes of this waste need to be identified before potential waste reduction measures can be designed, tested and evaluated. READ MORE

6. 4. Prevention and valorisation of surplus bread at the supplier-retailer interface

   Author : Pedro Brancoli; Clara Cicatiello; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Food waste; Life cycle assessment; Bread; Prevention; Valorisation; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

   Abstract : The global food system is a major driver of many environmental impacts, particularly those related to climate change, biodiversity loss, and depletion of freshwater resources. These problems are aggravated by a substantial waste of food throughout the supply chain, where retailers are responsible for large quantities of waste. READ MORE

7. 5. Exploring barriers to energy efficiency in supermarkets

   Keywords : retail; servicescape; foodscape; chilled groceries; energy efficiency; barriers; refrigerated display cabinets; consumer behaviors; consumer perceptions; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

   Abstract : Energy efficiency activities in sections of grocery stores for chilled groceries are subject to particular challenges as this is a complex indoor environment given that the goal of store owners is to offer consumers chilled groceries of high quality in a comfortable environment while at the same time trying to reduce energy use. Consequently, it is important to maintain the right temperature in the right place and to be aware of the consumers’ shopping situation. READ MORE
