Food waste represents a significant challenge for the food sector. While circular economy practices can reduce its negative sustainability impacts, the Circular Economy Rebound (CER) effect may diminish the effectiveness of these practices. To explore how CER can be modeled in the food sector and the circumstances that trigger it, this study develops an agent-based model simulating consumer behavior in response to circular economy strategies. This method provides valuable insights into the potential impacts of circular initiatives, also offering guidance for companies aiming to adopt circular economy practices effectively.

Abstract
Food waste represents a significant challenge for the food sector. While circular economy practices can reduce its negative sustainability impacts, the Circular Economy Rebound (CER) effect may diminish the effectiveness of these practices. To explore how CER can be modeled in the food sector and the circumstances that trigger it, this study develops an agent-based model simulating consumer behavior in response to circular economy strategies. This method provides valuable insights into the potential impacts of circular initiatives, also offering guidance for companies aiming to adopt circular economy practices effectively.File in questo prodotto:
