Topic description

WASTE-2-2014: A systems approach for the reduction, recycling and reuse of food

Specific challenge:

Food waste

has taken on disquieting proportions worldwide in all steps of the

food production and supply chain but especially at consumer level...

Scope: Actions should both address approaches to

reducing food waste and packaging materials

generated at relevant stages of the food system and investigate ways of

converting food waste

into

value-added by-products....

A

database/inventory

should be developed of recyclable materials, valuable molecules, substances

and materials originating from waste and by-products…

Solid

involvement of social sciences and humanities

and civil society is a prerequisite …

Expected impact:

• A significant contribution to achieving the

European policy target

of reducing food waste by 50%

by 2030…

• An increase in the

competitiveness

of the European food and drink and chemical industry, in

particular SMEs…
