Food production significantly impacts the environment through natural resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. However, ongoing increase in global food waste (FW), driven by diverse factors regional differences, highlights urgent need for accurate FW assessment effective mitigation strategies. While many studies address broad sectors, such as tourism, there is a clear focused research areas where reduction could yield substantial benefits, particularly service sector, which generates 244 Mt of annually.

Abstract Inadequate food handling throughout the supply chain can result in loss and waste, leading to significant environmental, economic social impacts. Identifying causes of waste across chain, including role packaging, is critical for developing reduction prevention strategies. This review examines 54 scientific studies identify packaging-related evaluate whether how packaging contributes or mitigates these issues, propose measures address them. The findings highlight need standardized terminology methodologies improve comparability among studies. Key issues identified include difficulty emptying, damage oversized which could be addressed through improved design machinery, customized sizes, consumer education. must adapted key simultaneously consider geographical areas, specific products types packaging. Further research needed explore connections more comprehensively data nomenclature.
