“… Description of data collection The input data in the inventory were calculated based on the damage area ratio for each packaging condition at each transportation distance. The ratio was calculated by the vibration test conducted in our co-submitted article [2] , and the method of the test was referenced by the article. The input data were the calculated value needed to transport 1 kg of no damaged strawberries to retail.…”

“… These data include beneficial information for LCA analysts studying food loss of fruits and vegetable to assess the environmental impact though the life cycle of the products with considering the influence of food loss prevention by packaging on environment. These data can be used to discuss a higher-optimized packaging (an ideal packaging), which leads to low food losses and environmental loads, through reproducing the LCA study (co-submitted article [2] ) based on parameters in the data. …”

This dataset includes two kinds of data (for inventory analysis in Table A1 to A13, and precondition of waste and recycle for plastic and cardboard in Table A14) for conducting life cycle assessment (LCA) of strawberry-package supply chain with considering food loss during transportation Inventory analysis includes input data for LCA analysis. The data in the inventory was referenced from the publication of Plastic Waste Management Institute Plastic Waste Management Institute, (2017) and calculated based on the damage area ratio measured in our co-submitted article (Sasaki et al., 2022). This data helps to reproduce the article (Sasaki et al., 2022) for inventory analysis and re-analyze the environmental impact through the life cycle of strawberry assessed in the co-submitted article. Data of waste (incineration and landfill) and recycle ratios for plastic was collected from the previous reports of the publication Basic Knowledge of Plastic Recycle 2021 (Plastic Waste Management Institute, 2021), and data of the ratios for cardboard was referenced from Transition of Collect Rate on Cardboard (Ministry of the Environment (MOE), 2016). Ratios in this data show Japan-specialized values and is useful for creating the inventory.

Ideal packaging for ripened peaches determined through modeling the relationship between food loss reduction and life cycle environmental impacts

Ripeness of fruits is one of the factors causing food losses in the supply chain. Food loss increases the environmental burden through additional production undertaken to compensate for the losses. Packaging decreases the losses and consequently, the environmental burden, but itself causes additional environmental burden. This study models the relationship between food loss reduction via packaging for ripened peaches and the environmental burden across their life cycle. The results reveal that the slope of the straight line approximating the relationship increases with transportation distance. Relationship between the slope and transportation distance shows that for transportation up to 100 km, packaging with lower environmental burden is sufficient while above 300 km, packaging that provides a high level of protection for peaches—with the consequent reduction in food loss contributing to the reduction of the environmental burden—is appropriate. We propose packaging with superior environmental‐friendly qualities, based on the transportation distance, for ripened peaches.
