Garbage is an inseparable component of daily existence; waste is generated from conception to mortality, and each stage of life affects the environment. Ensuring that citizens are knowledgeable and proficient in waste management through applying the 4R concept (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Replant) is crucial for addressing waste issues via source-reduction waste management. Capital Waste Bank is a social based management of regional waste, namely the construction of forts. One of them concerns environmental problems in urban areas which are very vulnerable to various types of damage, such as rubbish. One effort to improve the quality of the urban environment is the Smart Environment concept. Engaging in dialogue with community members and providing counseling, education, and training in emancipatory participation methods (communication and interaction) to empower citizens. Waste Bank has initiated a waste management socialization initiative in Langsa City to achieve zero emissions for the city and promote environmental health that is clearer, greener, more comfortable, and healthier. Integrated waste management can also inspire innovation and creativity within the community, thereby contributing to the general welfare of the populace.

PurposeConsidering food waste as a global problem resulting from the wastage of valuable resources that could fulfil the requirements of malnourished people, the current research focusses on understanding consumerism’s impact on this phenomenon. Additionally, the circular economy (CE) approach can be critical in reducing food waste and promoting sustainability.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review was conducted using bibliometrics and network analysis. The study reviewed 326 articles within 10 years, from 2013 to 2023.FindingsThe findings reveal four prominent factors – behavioural, environmental, socioeconomic and technological – in managing food waste (FW). Reducing FW at a holistic level can benefit individuals and the environment in several ways.Research limitations/implicationsConsumers are encouraged to be more responsible for their food consumption by reducing food waste, as it affects societies and businesses both economically and environmentally. This can help promote a responsible consumption culture that values quality over quantity and encourages people to make more informed choices about what they eat and how they dispose of it post-consumption. All stakeholders, including firms, the government and consumers, must examine the motives behind inculcating pro-environmental behaviour.Originality/valueAddressing consumerism and the ability to decrease FW behaviour are complex issues that require a multidimensional approach. This study seeks to fill the gap in understanding consumerism and the capacity to reduce FW using the CE approach and understand the research gaps and future research trends.

“…Furthermore, from the economic perspective, the value of food waste is quantified at over 1.000 billion dollars per year (FAO, 2014). Food waste is a crucial problem nowadays and, within the context of the circular economy, mitigating this problem is a priority (e.g., de Souza et al, 2021;Kumari et al, 2022;Mabe et al, 2022;Teigiserova et al, 2020).…”
