ABSTRACT - LCA AS A SUPPORTING TOOL FOR SUPERMARKET FOOD WASTE MANAGEMENT - A CASE STUDY IN A SWEDISH SUPERMARKET

摘要

This work aims to investigate the environmental and economic impacts related to supermarket food waste. The environmental assessment and cost indicators will form the basis of the information that will be given to the supermarket leadership. This will support the introduction of measures within the supermarket regarding waste prevention and waste treatment routes that will lead to lower environmental and economic costs. The measures will prioritize products with high environmental footprint per functional unit and high waste quantity.
