Single-use or reusable? Packaging strategies for decarbonizing fresh produce distribution in Ho.Re.Ca. supply chain
Reducing packaging-related environmental burden has become a key priority in the agri-food sector, especially in light of regulatory pressures and sustainability goals. While reusable packaging systems are increasingly recognized as a viable alternative to single-use packaging, their implementation in the Hotel, Restaurants, and Cafe (Ho.Re.Ca.) sector remains underexplored. To understand the environmental implications resulting from different pa…
A simulated annealing algorithm for the allocation of production resources in the food catering industry
Purpose This paper addresses the trade-off between asset investment and food safety in the design of a food catering production plant. It analyses the relationship between the quality decay of cook-warm products, the logistics of the processes and the economic investment in production machines. Design/methodology/approach A weekly cook-warm production plan has been monitored on-field using temperature sensors to estimate the quality decay profile…
