WASTE-2-2014: A systems approach for the reduction, recycling and reuse of food

Specific challenge: Food waste has taken on disquieting proportions worldwide in all steps of the food production and supply chain but especially at consumer level...

Scope: Actions should both address approaches to reducing food waste and packaging materials generated at relevant stages of the food system and investigate ways of converting food waste into value-added by-products....

A database/inventory should be developed of recyclable materials, valuable molecules, substances and materials originating from waste and by-products…

Solid involvement of social sciences and humanities and civil society is a prerequisite …

Expected impact:

• A significant contribution to achieving the European policy target of reducing food waste by 50% by 2030…

• An increase in the competitiveness of the European food and drink and chemical industry, in particular SMEs…

Type of action: Research and innovation actions (100%)

An Excellent LIFE proposal?

Address a Nature, Environmental or Climate problem, Quantify !, Should fit in EU policies

No research, you already know how to tackle the problem

Large project, €1 - € 5 million. 60% subsidy.

Have concrete quantifiable results

Engagement of essential stakeholders in the project

Innovative (pilot, demonstratie), natuur: best practice

Monitoring: show that it works!

Added value for Europe, value for money

Effect / Impact, no tools.

Advisors LIFE We help with: projectideas, phoncalls, proofreading darfts.
