The review assesses behaviourally informed interventions, emphasising that information alone is insufficient, while interactive capability-building, measurement, timely reminders, and accessible tools support desired behaviour. Social norms and emerging approaches such as gamification, commitment devices, and emotive feedback are highlighted as promising drivers of change.",{"@graph":63,"@context":118},[64,80,101],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":46,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/paper-templates/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/reducing-household-and-business-food-waste-literature-review/162525/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/reducing-household-and-business-food-waste-literature-review/162525.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"Patrick","Person",{"url":68,"name":91,"@type":92},"DocShare","Organization","application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document","2026-09-24","2026-08-30",true,{"@type":98,"interactionType":99,"userInteractionCount":9},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":100},"ViewAction",{"@type":102,"mainEntity":103},"FAQPage",[104,110,114],{"name":105,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":107},"What three actions does this review focus on for reducing food waste?","Question",{"text":108,"@type":109},"It focuses on encouraging behaviour to prevent waste at home (food and garden waste), enabling businesses to reduce food waste, and supporting participation in improved kerbside collections.","Answer",{"name":111,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":112},"Why is information sharing alone not sufficient to change behaviour?",{"text":113,"@type":109},"The review highlights that a narrow focus on information sharing does not reliably shift day-to-day behaviour.",{"name":115,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":116},"Which behaviourally informed approaches are emerging as promising?",{"text":117,"@type":109},"The review points to approaches such as gamification, commitment devices, and emotive feedback to support positive behaviour change.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":78,"og:type":120,"og:title":59,"og:site_name":91,"og:description":61},"article",{"robots":122,"canonical":78},"index,follow",{"doc_id":124,"site_id":56},162525,1790268855,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":127},{"doc_id":124,"user_id":128,"nickname":88,"user_avatar":129,"doc_module":9,"category_id":45,"category_name":46,"doc_title":59,"doc_description":61,"doc_content":130,"file_id":131,"file_url":132,"file_type":133,"file_size":134,"view_count":9,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":9,"is_downloadable":9,"audit_status":9,"page_count":135,"language":136,"language_code":57,"site_id":56,"html_lang":57,"table_of_contents":137,"faqs":138,"seo_title":139,"seo_description":61,"update_tm":140,"read_time":20},549758146520,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/80002397d8c0411e94?_k=1775819394049821470","Disclaimer\nThe information in this publication is, according to the Ministry for the Environment’s best efforts, accurate at the time of publication.
