🔀 #WASTEWISE is determined to incorporate environmental #reboundeffects & #biodiversity impacts into life cycle assessments #LCA of #foodwaste prevention interventions.
To this end we are combining insights from a literature review and the responses provided by 7️⃣0️⃣ LCA practitioners✍🏽 @ec.europa.eu
‼️ #Reboundeffects can offset expected environmental benefits by more than 50% and in some cases up to 90%
↪️ #WASTEWISE will review existing methodologies for quantifying & integrating environmental rebound effects into life cycle assessments #LCA of #foodwaste prevention initiatives♻️ @ec.europa.eu
‼️ #Reboundeffects are unintended environmental consequences that occur when people change their behaviour after doing something more efficiently♻️
↪️This may reduce or even cancel out the environmental benefits that were achieved in the first place.
#WASTEWISE will calculate this additional impact🎯
