Assessing the environmental sustainability of hospital diets using water footprint and food waste indicators
Purpose The objective of this research is to assess the environmental sustainability of a weekly hospital diet in terms of water consumption and food waste generation. This assessment is crucial for identifying more environmentally sustainable diets based on the development of the water-food waste index (WFWI). Design/methodology/approach This research evaluates the water footprint of hospital diets according to the Water Footprint Network (WFN) …
Sustainable and circular practices in the hotel industry in Southern Italy
Purpose The hotel industry is one of the leading producers of waste worldwide, and more than one-third of that waste is food. The purpose of this study is to investigate hotel managers' awareness of sustainable and circular practices, with a focus on their attitude toward and perception of food waste in Apulia, Southern Italy. The region has a tourist vocation, accounts for 3.3 million tourists per year and plays a key role in the Italian tourism…
Environmental management of the green asparagus ( Asparagus officinalis L.) supply chain
Purpose The objective of the research is to evaluate the carbon footprint of the green asparagus ( Asparagus officinalis L.) supply chain, encompassing the agricultural production to the packaging stage in Italy, as it is the sixth largest producer and the second largest in Europe. It provides an assessment in the province of Foggia and highlights the global perspective of the carbon footprint application in agro-food systems. Design/methodology/…
Material flow analysis and carbon footprint of water-packaging waste management
Packaged drinking water represents one of the fastest growing commodities on a global scale, and several alternatives to plastic have been proposed, such as glass, cardboard or aluminum. The research has a twofold goal: (i) first, it calculates the amount of water-packaging waste generated in Italy in 2020, distinguishing among PET, glass, aluminum and cardboard materials, and it applies the material flow analysis through the STAN 2.7.101 softwar…
Material flow and economic cost analysis of the Italian artisan bread production before and during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Quantifying textile streams and recycling prospects in Europe by material flow analysis
Food waste measurement toward a fair, healthy and environmental-friendly food system
Purpose Given the importance of food waste in the economic, social, health and environmental dimensions, the purpose of this work is to detect, through a systematic and configurative literature review on food-waste-measurement methodologies, the global approaches, characteristics, limitations, opportunities and results applied within the literature. The analysis of these papers provides useful information about how far we are from international a…
Hidden flows assessment in the agri-food sector
Purpose The study proposes Material Flow Analysis (MFA) methodology as a tool to measure and qualify food waste in the Italian beef supply chain in each stage of the food supply chain, from farm to fork. In particular, the authors attempt to: (1) measure resources consumption and waste generation toward companies' and policymakers' sustainable evaluations; (2) enhance consumers' education in the field of agri-food resilience and sustainability. D…
Global warming potential of food waste through the life cycle assessment
How to measure food loss and waste? A material flow analysis application
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to measure food loss and waste by material flow analysis (MFA) tool. Applying this methodology, the authors estimate wastage-related losses and discuss opportunities for more circular and sustainable practices in the Italian potato industry. Design/methodology/approach MFA is applied to two specific typologies as follows: ready-to-eat (chips) and dried potato products produced in Italy. The analysis refers to …
