“…For example, Young et al 2017 Nineteen studies executed a promotional effort to encourage consumers to act (Lee and Kotler, 2011). The most commonly used persuasive communication efforts were informational program brochures (Bernstad, 2014, Bernstad et al, 2013, Dai et al, 2015, Devaney and Davies, 2017, Geislar, 2017, Huang et al, 2018, Jagau and Vyrastekova, 2017, Kawai and Huong, 2017, Lim et al, 2017, Linder et al, 2018, Morone et al, 2018, Nomura et al, 2011, Rousta et al, 2015, Schmidt, 2016, Shearer et al, 2017, Young et al, 2017) followed by monetary rewards including gift vouchers (Romani et al, 2018) and tokens that could be exchanged for goods (Dai et al, 2016). Bench et al (2005) promoted sales by offering a free kitchen caddy to assist the use of the program product (i.e.…”

“…As a result, there were no studies that reported strict use of the segmentation process. However, nine studies reported a targeting process of identifying the most relevant and appropriate group of individuals or households to uptake the program based on their age, region and generated food wastage (Bernstad et al, 2013, Dai et al, 2016, Dai et al, 2015, Huang et al, 2018, Kawai and Huong, 2017, Lee and Jung, 2017, Li et al, 2017, Linder et al, 2018, Shearer et al, 2017.…”

Purpose Food waste is a systemic problem, with waste occurring at all stages in the supply chain and consumption process. There is a need to unpack which strategies, approaches and tools can be applied to reduce the amount of food wasted. Understanding the extent of social marketing principles used offers insights into the additional means that can be applied to increase voluntary behavioral change. Design/methodology/approach Following preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines, a systematic quantitative literature review was undertaken focused on outcome evaluation studies conducted since 2000. Six databases were examined, and cross rating was used to identify previous programs tackling food waste behavior at a household level. A total of 23 programs were analyzed against 8 social marketing components. Findings Overall, only 2 out of 23 food waste programs self-identified as social marketing programs. A lack of application of social marketing elements was observed across all studies, indicating a tendency to implement non-voluntary change approaches. The most commonly targeted behaviors were source-separation. Personal interaction involved the distribution of information in person (typically through door knocking). Personal interaction strategies were identified as the most effective program techniques. Program effectiveness was greater when the social marketing components of behavioral change, theory and marketing mix were used, indicating the potential for voluntary approaches to be applied more in the future. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the current study was the first systematic literature review to examine the extent of social marketing application in food waste programs reported in peer-reviewed academic literature using eight components of social marketing. The study revealed behavioral change was more likely when more social marketing components were used. Future research is recommended to consider the application of full range of social marketing elements to extend beyond involuntary approaches, which can be subjected to criticism from community.

“…A reduction in the number of participating households reduced the efficiency of collection, demotivating collectors and further reducing the chances of households participating in the recycling system. Source separation of organic waste in households is affected by neighbouring households, as indicated by a waste composition survey in Hanoi, Vietnam (Kawai and Huong, 2017). Thus, a decrease in the number of households that separate food waste may accelerate the decline in such households.…”

This study examined the effects of economic development on the commercialised and non-commercialised segments of informal food waste recycling in Da Nang City, Vietnam. Food waste was collected from the urban centre and used as pig feed in swine farms in suburban areas. The commercialised and non-commercialised segments of this system have evolved differently over time. During our observation period of 2011–2016, swine farmers became concerned about economic efficiency, which affected the manner in which they used food waste. By 2016, more farmers had begun to use food waste brokers instead of collecting food waste themselves so that they could concentrate on rearing pigs. The price of food waste remained low, reflecting the farmers’ need for low-cost feeding. This resulted in the closure of commercialised transactions between households and waste collectors amid increased household income. Instead, non-commercialised transactions supported by human ties became the main mode of household participation in food waste recycling . Our findings can guide the use of different elements in this informal recycling system within the framework of a formalised recycling system implemented by the government.

“…In Vietnam, most research on solid waste management focused on waste sorting [15], waste treatment methods, and cost-effective solutions [16]. Other studies explored social acceptance [17], public behavior [18,19], and residents' autonomous motivation [20] to seek attention, increase public awareness, and improve the effectiveness of solid waste management projects. Research on waste management in Vietnam is still being carried out with many different topics.…”

Municipal solid waste management is an environmental issue that has received considerable attention from researchers and environmental managers for decades. Supporting the management programs entail policies and regulations related to municipal solid waste. In developed countries, the implementation of environmental policies plays an important role and has a substantial impact on the effectiveness of solid waste management. However, in many developing countries such as Vietnam, the situation and effectiveness of the policy implementation have not been studied extensively. This investigation is conducted to ascertain the situation, limitations, and challenges in implementing solid waste management policy in Vietnam. Then, solutions for the problems and improvements for implementation efficiency are presented. This work used online questionnaires to survey environmental managers in different localities and applied qualitative research method to analyze data. The results show that not all national policies on solid waste management are implemented in all localities. Waste separation is also the foremost concern in municipal waste management in most localities of Vietnam. Most of the localities claimed that the unrealistic nature and difficult implementation of the policies and the lack of needed resources are the main limitations and challenges in Vietnam. Survey results also revealed that different localities in Vietnam have different solutions to increase policy implementation efficiency. Besides, the study also found similarities in the implementation of policies in solid waste management between Vietnam and some other countries and also gathered some valuable lessons for the improvement strategy. Finally, the implementation of an effective domestic solid waste management policy is an important platform for improving environmental quality and ensuring the sustainable development of the nation and mankind.
