Surplus Food Donations and Intentions to Throw Leftover Food: A Model and Empirical Analysis
Limited studies are available on the drivers of surplus food donation and intentions to throw away leftover food, particularly for Pakistan’s developing economy. The current study covers this gap by constructing a research model that describes surplus food donations and intentions to throw leftover food in restaurants. The research model considers the four important drivers of food waste: Food quality, novelty, quantity and motives for taking away leftovers. This study conducted a cross-sectional survey comprised of 1,178 diners. The study findings show that food quality, novelty, quantity and motives for taking away leftovers are significantly related to food waste reduction behaviour (intentions to donate surplus food and throw leftovers brought home). In addition, the findings indicate that participants’ ages have a significant and direct influence on the behaviour of food waste reduction. This study made an effort to cover the gap by developing a model and testing it using Pakistani diners.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
