Dampak negatif dari pemborosan makanan telah lama dikaitkan dengan hubungan erat antara makanan yang terbuang dan kerawanan pangan, mengingat secara global sepertiga dari makanan yang dihasilkan dari konsumsi manusia telah dibuang. Meskipun penelitian ilmiah dapat menginformasikan praktik pengurangan limbah makanan, sehingga memangkas biaya operasional dan menghemat sumber daya bisnis, operator jasa makanan takut akan potensi kerusakan reputasi yang ditimbulkan sebagai akibat dari pengungkapan data tentang jumlah makanan yang terbuang di tempat mereka. Oleh karena itu, untuk mendapatkan persetujuan dari penyedia jasa makanan maka untuk mengambil bagian dalam penelitian ilmiah tentang limbah makanan bisa menjadi sulit. Sebagian besar penyedia layanan makanan tidak dapat menugaskan anggota staf yang berdedikasi untuk mencatat pemborosan makanan karena kekurangan staf dan sibuk beroperasi pada layanan makanan. Keengganan industri untuk berkolaborasi dengan akademisi, menjelaskan mengapa kehadiran peneliti di dapur restoran dengan tujuan audit limbah makanan tidak selalu ada. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode literature review untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan pengelolaan limbah makanan. Penelitian ini menggunakan 15 artikel penelitian yang diambil dari database Scopus. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan pengelolaan limbah makanan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat variabel yang berpengaruh terhadap pengelolaan sampah makanan, baik yang berpengaruh, berpengaruh negatif, bahkan tidak berpengaruh. Penelitian lain juga menunjukkan pengaruh pengelolaan limbah makanan terhadap variabel lain, yaitu sirkular bioekonomi.

The environmental impacts of five waste management scenarios for polylactic acid (PLA)-based bioplastics and food waste were quantified using life cycle assessment. Laboratory experiments have demonstrated the potential for a pretreatment process to accelerate the degradation of bioplastics and were modeled in two of the five scenarios assessed. The five scenarios analyzed in this study were: (1a) Anaerobic digestion (1b) Anaerobic digestion with pretreatment; (2a) Compost; (2a) Compost with pretreatment; (3) Landfill. Results suggested that food waste and pretreated bioplastics disposed of with an anaerobic digester offers life cycle and environmental net total benefits (environmental advantages/offsets) in several areas: ecotoxicity (−81.38 CTUe), eutrophication (0 kg N eq), cumulative energy demand (−1.79 MJ), global warming potential (0.19 kg CO2), and human health non-carcinogenic (−2.52 CTuh). Normalized results across all impact categories show that anaerobically digesting food waste and bioplastics offer the most offsets for ecotoxicity, eutrophication, cumulative energy demand and non-carcinogenic. Implications from this study can lead to nutrient and energy recovery from an anaerobic digester that can diversify the types of fertilizers and decrease landfill waste while decreasing dependency on non-renewable technologies. Thus, using anaerobic digestion to manage bioplastics and food waste should be further explored as a viable and sustainable solution for waste management.

Most local authorities in Malaysia spent as much as 60-70 percent of their annual budget to dispose food waste together with other municipal solid wastes to landfills. It is time for Malaysians to start reducing food waste through sustainable method, as it is becoming an uphill task to manage food wastes generated in Malaysia. When households reduce the amount of food waste generated in a sustainable way, it could help reduce cost, and other related bills for households, and as well in running their other daily activities. The main objective of this study is to assess how sociodemographic factors of households in Selangor and Terengganu influence their behaviour towards participation in sustainable food wastes management program. The study applied purposive nonrandom sampling consisting of 333 respondents, 257 were from Selangor and 76 from Terengganu. Primary data was collected through structured questionnaire. Descriptive and logistics regression model analysis were used to analyze the data. Findings have shown 48.7 percent of Terengganu respondents spent not more than RM100 on food per week, while Selangor had 41.2 percent within the same period who spent such amount. 35.4 percent of Selangor respondents spent between RM101-200 compared to Terengganu which spent same amount at 30.3 percent within the same periods. The survey shows 43.2 percent of Selangor households disposed 1-3kg food wastes, while Terengganu on the other hand had 51.3 percent who disposed same quantities of food wastes per week. Respondents with higher education, those on government jobs, small family size and ethnicity have significant impacts on the respondents' behaviour towards participation in sustainable food waste management program.

North America is a big consumer and consequently a big producer of waste. For the purpose of this project, we were primarily interested in collecting information in North America, focusing on Quebec primarily. The main research question was risen up during the fieldwork and assistance with the Canadian company. It clearly presents the enterprise readiness for obtaining a smart solution on organic/food waste problem. It is believed, how organic/food waste can be a resource of a high value. There is a capacity of creating a new path, where organic/food waste could become the important as plant/field nutrient supply. The circular approach to organic waste management is urgently needed in a way how the organic waste should be reduced and returned as productive resource input into our economy. The paper presents a new value towards a sustainability process that Canada is building at the moment. It represents the innovative approach, which is highly accepted in some cities in Quebec with the obtained pilot projects and excellent results. This paper is not only a simple research paper, but it is also the very important original innovative document which can be highly used on the level of each municipality, region and federal level.

The purpose of this article is to elaborate a diagnosis of the port area and the socioenvironmental management of the Port of Rio de Janeiro, beyond of delineate their profile and proposes actions to improve the management of solid waste. To attainment the goals we conducted a literature review and interviews with the environmental manager of the Port of Rio de Janeiro and researchers with the International Virtual Institute of Global Change – IVIG from COPPE/UFRJ. The study has identified ineffective waste management of the Port of Rio de Janeiro beyond generate unnecessary costs with emergency actions and attracts harmful synanthropic fauna: cockroaches, scorpions and rodents. This is because environmental management, among other factors, is presented by the inadequate supervision inefficient, poor technology, inadequate infrastructure, environmental education and sprayed lack of integration between the actors involved. Thus, integration between government, private sector, third sector and consumers would become a sustainable, effective and viable waste management port.
