REFRESH D4.6 Pan-European scenarios of food waste levels

Pan-European scenarios of food waste levelsThis work is part of a collection of reports on household food waste prediction for EU28, Member Countries and European Regions. The collection consists of a methodological report, REFRESH D4.8 -A roadmap to reduce food waste in Europe, which represents the theoretical base for two additional reports, REFRESH D4.6 Pan-European scenarios of food waste levelsand REFRESH D4.7 A pan-European simulation of selected interventions, where food waste scenarios for EU28 and for each European Country are presented.In particular, this work collects 29 single food waste scenarios (28 Country scenarios and a predictionscenariorelated to the whole EU-28). Scenarios, describingkilograms of food wastedevery year by an average household, are based on predictions of food waste levels conducted considering the current values of different socioeconomicand demographicfactors: GDP (euros at purchasing power parity), the national tertiary education rates, national employment rate, average household size and house ownership status. No external intervention aimed at reducing the quantity of food waste is considered.
