Tackling food-related single-use plastics in diverse consumption contexts

该项目旨在通过利用关键的社会科学方法，调查针对消费者参与一次性食品塑料的干预措施的不均衡影响。 这项研究预计将创造新的知识，通过在可持续消费和废物研究领域使用创新的定性技术的证据基础。 该项目的预期成果包括概念和方法，以提高社会切实可行的废物管理能力。 这将通过提高澳大利亚开发一次性食品塑料使用的生活经验并将其整合到当前和未来的国家废物政策和国家塑料计划中来提供显着的好处。

This project aims to investigate the uneven impacts of interventions that target consumers' engagement with single-use food plastics by utilising critical social science approaches. This research expects to create new knowledge through an evidence base in the area of sustainable consumption and waste studies using innovative qualitative techniques. Expected outcomes of this project include conceptual and methodological approaches that enhance societal capabilities for practicable waste management. This will provide significant benefits by enhancing Australia’s capacity to develop and integrate lived experiences of single-use food plastics use into the current and future National Waste Policy and National Plastics Plan.
