Food waste conversion : A study on how conversion can reduce in-store food waste in Swedish supermarkets

Omar Abdulkadir, Rahma, Calmfors, Filippa January 2019 (has links)
Problem: Food waste is a major issue from both an environmental as well as an economic perspective. In Europe alone, 90 million tons of food is wasted in the food supply chain every year. In order to reduce these excessive costs and the environmental impact, new food waste management strategies need to be developed and established. The food waste management strategies established in the retail stage are limited as the retail stage is an area of the food supply chain that has been neglected in research.   Purpose: This thesis explores the food waste management of fresh fruits and vegetables out of retailer´s perspective. In specific, it assesses the potential effects for Swedish supermarkets in which have established processes where non-sellable products are recycled through conversion in-house.   Method: This qualitative study has been performed through observational studies with semi-structured interviews to complement the observational findings. The empirical data is collected at Swedish supermarkets that have conversion processes established in their organization. The respondents were either store managers or managers for perishable goods. The data were analysed using the content analysis approach.   Findings: The results of our research reveal that conversion activities of fresh fruits and vegetables result in less food waste and positive economic outcomes. To create higher economic value of the food waste conversion, the conversion of fresh fruits and vegetables should be performed in combination with other product categories.

En förstudie om Gävleungdomars relation och attityd till närproducerat livsmedel och dess förpackningar

Tabatabaei, Sepideh January 2018 (has links)
Det finns många olika anledningar till varför konsumenter köper närproducerat livsmedel. Vissa konsumenter köper närproducerat för att livsmedlet producerats i närheten där de bor medan andra köper närproducerat för att de anser att livsmedlet har producerats på ett miljö- och klimatvänligt sätt. Vissa konsumenter köper närproducerat för att det smakar bättre eller att de anser att det håller en högre kvalitet än andra livsmedel. Syftet med denna förstudie är att undersöka vilken relation och attityd gymnasieelever i Polhemsskolan i Gävle har till närproducerad mat, samt vilken attityd de har till förpackningar för närproducerad mat. Man vill även undersöka hur närproducenter i Gävleborgs län jobbar idag med marknadskommunikation och förpackningsdesign. För att genomföra denna förstudie har en kvantitativ studie använts. Den kvantitativa studien baseras på två stycken enkätundersökningar som gymnasieelever i Polhemsskolan i Gävle och närproducenter i Gävleborgs län fått ta del av. Enkäterna behandlade samtliga teoriområden. Teorikapitlet inleds med en bakgrundsbeskrivning om MatVärden som är en förening som arbetar för att Gävleborgs invånare men även besökare ska kunna ta del av den mat och dryck som produceras i Gävleborg. Därefter beskrivs Livsmedelsstrategin 2017, om närproducerat livsmedel, konsumenternas efterfrågan, förpackningsdesign och marknadskommunikation. Varje del har en koppling till studiens syfte som ska ligga till grund för slutsatsen. I empirin presenteras det material som samlats in i samband med den kvantitativa enkätundersökningen. Man har sett att det finns en kunskapsbrist bland gymnasieelever om närproducerat livsmedel. Det framkommer också i resultatet att de anser att en färgad och mer rolig förpackning attraherar mer än en vanlig och enkelfärgad. Närproducenter har idag svårt att ta sig ända ut till butik eftersom att det brister i både kunskap och kommunikation. De har begränsade förutsättningar att jobba i enlighet med de traditionella modeller som finns och har påvisat ett intresse för att öka sin försäljning och nå ända ut till butik. / There are many different reasons why consumers buy locally produced foods. Some consumers buy locally produced food nearby, while others buy after-production because they consider that the food has been produced in an environmentally and climate-friendly way. Some consumers buy after-production because it tastes better or that they consider it to be of a higher quality than other foods. The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate the relationship and attitude to food that is produced locally, and the attitude they attach to packaging for local food of high school students in Polhem school in Gävle. Also, investigate how local manufacturers in Gävleborg County work today with market communication and packaging design. To carry out this study, a quantitative study has been used. The quantitative study is based on two surveys conducted by high school students at the Polhem School in Gävle and local producers in Gävleborg County. The questionnaires cover all the theory areas. The theory chapter begins with a background description about MatVärden, an association that works for Gävleborg residents, but also visitors to be able to share the food and drink produced in Gävleborg. Next, the Foodstuffs Strategy 2017 describes food production, consumer demand, packaging design and marketing communications. Each part has a connection with the purpose of the study that will be the basis for the conclusion. The empirical material presents the material collected about the quantitative questionnaire survey. It has been observed that there is a lack of knowledge among high school students about food produced locally. It also appears in the result that they consider that a colored and more fun packaging attracts more than one ordinary and single-colored. Local producers have a hard time reaching out to the stores today because they lack knowledge and communication. They have limited opportunities to work per the traditional models that exist and have shown an interest in increasing their sales and reaching out to the stores.
