Food waste and domestic refrigeration: a visceral and material approach
Abstract
In this paper, we offer an embodied and material exploration of food waste arising from practices of food refrigeration and disposal. Inspired by geographers working with a visceral approach and calls within the discipline to evaluate the productive agency of materials, our framing brings materiality and embodiment to the fore in accounting for refrigerated food items recategorised and discarded as waste. Drawing on research conducted with 28 households in Wollongong (Australia), our analysis of refrigerating and ridding food orients around three emergent activities: placing, rotating, and assessing. Each section provides illustration of different ways in which affective social relations and subjectivities co-constitute embodied understandings and materialities of foods-becoming-waste. To conclude, we articulate the implications of a visceral and material approach for rethinking and addressing food waste.

Some consumers associate food waste with negative emotions such as disgust, hate, frustration, annoyance, and anxiety.
“Some consumers also associate food waste with emotions of 'disgust ' (Radzyminska et al., 2016;Waitt and Phillips, 2016;Watson and Meah, 2012), 'hate' (Waitt and Phillips, 2016), 'frustration' or 'annoyance' (Graham-Rowe et al., 2014), and 'anxiety' (Evans, 2011a;Graham-Rowe et al., 2014).”

During processes of ordering and disposal, food items can be re-examined, re-experienced, and re-valued.
“During processes of ordering and disposal, food items can be re-examined, re-experienced, and re-valued, e.g. to be used for a meal, replaced within the place of storage, or moved out of it (Waitt and Phillips, 2016).”

Systematically storing and categorizing food products in combination with periodic re-ordering can lower food waste generation.
“Systematically storing and categorizing food products (e.g.systematic stacking of newer and older foods, or according to frequency of use) in combination with periodic re-ordering can lower food waste generation (Farr-Wharton et al., 2014;Waitt and Phillips, 2016).”

The unpredictability of eating patterns, driven by unexpected dinner invitations or spontaneously spending time with friends, leads to foods remaining uneaten and, in turn, wasted.
“This unpredictability of eating patterns, driven by unexpected dinner invitations or spontaneously spending time with friends, leads to foods remaining uneaten and, in turn, wasted (Evans, 2012;Ganglbauer et al., 2013;Waitt and Phillips, 2016).”

Reusing leftovers is appreciated for its time-, labour-, and money-saving qualities.
“Yet, even though reusing leftovers is appreciated for its time-, labour-, and money-saving qualities (Cappellini, 2009;Waitt and Phillips, 2016), its realization often faces considerable barriers.”

More attention has recently been paid to the notion of 'procrastination', i.e. postponing the unpleasant experience of throwing away leftovers until they are sufficiently spoiled and finally must be discarded.
“In line with that, more attention has recently been paid to the notion of 'procrastination' (Blichfeldt et al., 2015;Evans, 2012b;Waitt and Phillips, 2016), i.e. postponing the unpleasant experience of throwing away leftovers until they are sufficiently spoiled and finally must be discarded (Waitt and Phillips, 2016).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
