“…Soliciting cooperation from diners to demonstrate SRC through positive reinforcement can prove to be an effective strategy for the food industry in its sustainable business model, as shown in the result of this study. Given the growing support of sustainable businesses by consumers today (Ha, 2020; Lentz et al , 2021), food service businesses who incorporate clear and visible sustainable business practices will ultimately reap greater financial gains in the long run (Budzinski et al , 2022) (refer to Table 8 on CWPUR and Section 3.4.6).…”

Purpose The global food waste and food scarcity paradox is steadfastly increasing. This study aims to examine the effects of digital nudging as forms of positive and negative reinforcement to change food waste behavior and found that nudging positive reinforcement modifies this habit. Design/methodology/approach A field experiment was conducted on 628 diners randomly split into experiment (n = 412) and control group (n = 216) in two separate dining locations over four weeks. Out of these, 412 diners were randomly subjected to tent cards with positive (n = 228) and negative (n = 184) reinforcement nudging and completed a questionnaire to ascertain if nudging affects their consumption behavior. Consumption waste per unit revenue was calculated from all 628 diners individually to analyze the financial impact between control and experiment groups. Findings SEM analysis reveals that positive reinforcement mediates between external motivators (social media and restaurant service) and reduction of food waste behavior. Further analysis also reveals that nudging has a higher three times effect on reducing food waste as compared with no nudging (control). Social implications Positive messaging encourages behavior change more effectively as compared to negative ones. Gentle reminders of how everyone can personally be a “warrior” or “hero” in the fight against global food waste increases the likelihood of altruistic motivation in tackling these issues. Originality/value This study demonstrates how positive reinforcement in the form of nudges acts as key mediator to support reduction of consumer food waste on site, ultimately helping to reduce financial costs compared to those without nudges.

“…Since these regulations are typically within national jurisdiction, enforcement on international platforms is a recurrent topic of legal sciences. 7 See for a discussion of the DMA, inter alia, Budzinski & Mendelsohn (2022), and for the DSA, inter alia, Budzinski and Karg (2022). The following paragraphs draw on these sources.…”
