Nowadays food waste is high on the agenda of companies and policy makers. Many initiatives are underway to reduce food waste. However, if food waste cannot be reduced, there are still reuse possibilities, e.g., using food waste as a source for animal feed or the production of energy. A related challenge concerns the packaging material used for food products. On one hand, packaging can extend the product’s shelf life or better inform consumers about it, thereby reducing food waste. On the other hand, packaging is itself a major source of (food-related) waste. This project focuses on the role that circular supply chains can have on managing and reducing/reusing food waste and related packaging waste streams. More specifically, it aims to focus on reduce through the study of smart packaging as well as reusable packaging. It aims to focus on reuse through the study of the design and operation of new supply chains resulting from food waste valorization (such as the use of food waste as a feedstock for insect breeding).
