REFRESH Video: Research against food waste

franka.paetzke — Sun, 23 Feb 2020 16:32:02 +0000

Video

In 2019, REFRESH has come to an end. Since 2015, the 26 project partners from across Europe and China have made considerable progress in tackling food losses and food waste along production and supply chains with an integrated approach towards a more sustainable and responsible food system. This video summarises the main activities and findings of the project.

Policy recommendations to improve food waste prevention and valorisation in the EU

franka.paetzke — Thu, 20 Feb 2020 15:28:14 +0000

Report

This report presents a series of policy recommendations based on research conducted within REFRESH to reduce food waste along the whole supply chain, and improve the management of surplus food and food waste flows at the European level.

A roadmap to reduce food waste in Europe

franka.paetzke — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 10:18:25 +0000

Report

This report adopts a Bayesian hierarchical mixed-effects modelling approach, based on previous REFRESH work, to quantify the relationships between socioeconomic and demographic indicators and household food waste and the potential impact of an external intervention on food waste.

A pan-European simulation of selected interventions

franka.paetzke — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 10:14:25 +0000

Report

This report consists in a series of reports developing estimates for household food waste levels under four different scenarios for each European country and for the whole EU28.

Pan-European scenarios of food waste levels

franka.paetzke — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 10:13:50 +0000

Report

This report collects 29 single food waste scenarios (28 country scenarios and a prediction scenario related to the whole EU-28), describing the amounts of food wasted every year by an average household and are based on predictions of food waste levels conducted considering the current values of different socioeconomic and demographic factors.

REFRESH SPAIN - The issue of food waste and how we tackle it along the supply chain

franka.paetzke — Wed, 06 Nov 2019 13:35:09 +0000

Video

In this short video, REFRESH ESPAÑA, the Spanish Pilot Working Platform of REFRESH, explains the issue of food waste and how the project worked to combat this widespread and difficult problem.

REFRESH external outreach report

franka.paetzke — Wed, 30 Oct 2019 10:36:23 +0000

Report

This report analyses two specific activities within REFRESH: First, the dissemination of the Framework for Action (“Blueprint”) that helps national governments to build Voluntary Agreements with the relevant stakeholders in the sector to reduce food loss and waste and second, work with Standardisation Bodies, specifically barcode standards used by retailers.

Final report on dissemination and exploitation of REFRESH results

Report

This report provides a detailed overview of REFRESH’s activities as well as an assessment of their outreach and impact. It also reflects on the lessons learned of REFRESH’s communication activities, including barriers and success formats.

Reduce and Re-use: Studying retailers’ food waste from an Operations Research perspective

franka.paetzke — Fri, 27 Sep 2019 11:55:03 +0000

Report

In this PhD thesis several interventions are analyzed in order to reduce the food waste of retailers, or to re-use food leftovers. The interventions tested are: Discounting nearly expired products, a dynamic shelf life, the incorporation of substitution behavior in the ordering process of the retailer and the re-use of leftovers by a soup kitchen. All interventions show potential to reduce food waste.

Role of food waste valorisation potential

franka.paetzke — Wed, 11 Sep 2019 09:02:32 +0000

Report

This report provides an overview of how the valorisation tasks within the REFRESH project support the EU food waste targets.

Scale up models and processes

franka.paetzke — Wed, 11 Sep 2019 08:57:48 +0000

Report

It can be difficult for businesses to identify in which conditions a valorization option is economically feasible. Using a case study on a chicory processing by-product, this report presents a methodology for a well-underpinned assessment of practical economic feasibility.
