First #results & progress of #WASTEWISE 👣
🗣 "We analyzed Member States’ #FoodWaste #data, compared methods, built a product-level database, and linked it with environmental impacts using AI. These insights inform our reduction scenarios."
➡️ H. Hartikainen @luke.fi @scienceinnovation.ec.europa.eu
First results & progress of #WASTEWISE 👣
🗣 "The consortium has been reviewing, assessing & organizing a huge amount of #FoodWaste #data. This provides a solid evidence-based foundation for the project's final #results."

The #WASTEWISE project has now been running for a year, and we have plenty to share 🔝
We have been reviewing, assessing and organising a large amount of #data relating to #FoodWaste & food waste #policies 📉✍🏼
💯 The #results achieved so far are very encouraging. Watch #video youtu.be/vqYBc5_JkKY?...
#WASTEWISE has launched 5️⃣ Multi-Actor #Platforms across six locations to connect ~60 stakeholders from #Italy #Romania #Spain #Switzerland #Finland & #Sweden 🌍
🤝 These MAPs foster dialogue to prevent & reduce #FoodWaste

✅ #WASTEWISE developed a product-level #database on food loss & waste, covering 53 items across 12 food groups 🥝🥕🥩🐠
Aligned with EU #FoodWaste reporting, it uses a common framework to support research & action 🌍

✅ Combining #FoodWaste data with #LCA helps reveal the real environmental impact of waste and identify the best strategies.
⚠️ But methodological gaps still exist
🎯 #WASTEWISE proposes a systematic framework to bridge this gap.

On #InternationalWomensDay we echo insights from the European Commission: women across Europe show stronger concern for #ClimateChange.
Women are more likely to:
🌍 See climate change as a serious problem
♻️ Separate waste for recycling
🚯 Reduce disposable items
🥗 Reduce meat consumption
#IWD26
⚖️ The new EU #WasteDirective 2025 introduces legally binding targets to reduce #FoodWaste.
In our view, this is an ambitious and necessary objective, with both strengths & weaknesses. Below are the initial #statements from our coordination team @luke.fi
ℹ️ wastewise-project.eu/2025/11/20/w...
Find out the #results of our research on #FoodWaste #quantification in the #EU 🌍
