Food waste and domestic refrigeration: a visceral and material approach

In the citing paper

“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, 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 (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).”

In the citing paper

“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).”

“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.”

In the citing paper

“Here, concerns about food safety tend to outweigh others, such as wasting food (Graham-Rowe et al., 2014;Meah, 2014;Waitt and Phillips, 2016).”

In the citing paper

“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).”

In the citing paper

“When stored, leftovers are often misplaced, forgotten and/or stored for too long in the fridge and therefore expire more frequently (Blichfeldt et al., 2015;Farr-Wharton et al., 2014;Waitt and Phillips, 2016).”
