Taking a life cycle perspective is important when trying to understand the broader implications of systems and innovations. This is also key to the growing circular economy movement. In REFRESH there is a dedicated work package exploring the methodological challenges in regard of food waste, for prevention, valorisation or end of life disposal.
To encourage a wider discussion on the importance of food waste management and valorisation, there will be a dedicated session at the next Life Cycle Management Conference, in 2017 in Luxembourg. It will be co-chaired by Nicole Unger, from the REFRESH team, and Marco Ricci.
Focus will be on the role the waste management and valorisation sector plays in regards of food waste plays as industry and society moves towards a circular economy mode.
