“…This approach to sustainability aims at reforming current practices of supply chain management, instead of transforming them. A distinction that is framed in terms of “weak” versus “strong” sustainability, of which the latter form of sustainability can be recognized in ideas about the so‐called “circular economy.” However, such radical transformational ideas do not inform how to improve existing practices of supply chain management, as they suggest discarding such practices altogether. As such, the TBL approach is considered to be more appropriate route towards developing SSCM.…”

This paper presents a multi‐criteria decision‐making approach for the selection of a sustainable product‐package design, accounting for the different actors within a food supply chain. The study extends the focus of sustainable packaging design to the collective of all supply chain actors. Decision criteria are identified via a literature review, and current product‐package alternatives are collected via interviews. With the inputs of these criteria and the alternative designs, a multi‐criteria decision‐making problem is formulated and solved using Best Worst Method (BWM). BWM finds the weights of the criteria. Using these weights, the ranking of the alternatives is found. The implementation of the analysis took place for three selected products of the Kraft Heinz Company. Data on the preferences of the supply chain members of these selected products were collected, and the optimal package designs were selected. It is shown through sensitivity analysis that modifying the weights that decision makers assign to the preferences of the supply chain members and the importance of the dimensions of sustainability have an effect on the selection of the optimal design.

“…The GreenHackGBG project strives to infiltrate the private household realm by inviting Greenhackers to open participants’ fridges and examine their food before it becomes waste (see Figure 1). By so doing, the project transforms, or reframes, the relationship between publicness and privateness (Lövbrand and Stripple, 2012; Pesch, 2015), turning public materiality into a public matter, thereby making individual relationships with waste and consumption legitimate matters of public governance.…”

“…These new forms of governance are typical of what Pesch has called ‘organic perspectives’ on the public/private distinction, where the line between the spheres of publicness and privateness is much less strict than in liberal perspectives (Pesch, 2015) and where public and private authority are blended (Bulkeley and Betsill, 2013). The projects challenge the meanings of and relationship between the conceptual pair of ‘publicness’ and ‘privateness’ (Pesch, 2015).…”

Informed by institutional entrepreneurship theory and based on the case of waste prevention projects in the City of Göteborg, this paper examines the role of cities in shaping new environmental policies. Structured by the research question, ‘How do cities shape novel environmental policies and practices?’, the paper illustrates how cities become agents of environmental change and institutional entrepreneurship through mobilizing and recombining resources (i.e. human, financial, and spatial), rationales (by reframing symbols, challenging taboos, and transforming waste socio-materialities), and relations (via internal and external collaboration and by creating new institutional arrangements, roles, and expectations). Emerging environmental policies, such as waste prevention, represent the structuring of an incipient environmental policy field. This new generation of environmental policies expands the scope of the public sector (the so-called publicness), reshapes the public/private distinction, and challenges taboos such as the intrusion of publicness into privateness.

“…For instance, the aspired innovation of repairable products can be seen as a technical innovation, but also extends into the aspiration of ending throwaway culture (cf. Pesch, 2015a), which can be classified as a social innovation. In turn, these two types of innovation serve the goal of diffusion by translation.…”

Local sustainability initiatives are studied from two scholarly perspectives: the perspective of sociotechnical innovation, which relates to the capacity of bottom-up initiatives to contribute to the development of sociotechnical alternatives; and the perspective of civic engagement which relates to the capacity of citizens to organize themselves in order to pursue community goals. This paper argues that taking both these perspectives into account overcomes the problem of being too instrumental or the problem of neglecting the role of technology and innovation in local initiatives. The perspective of sociotechnical innovation presents different types of innovation pursued by local initiatives: the creation of new technology, the application of existing technology and the development of social innovation. Furthermore, innovations might diffuse over wider society by: replication, scaling up, and translation. In turn, civic engagement may take the shape of: the strengthening of social capital, the formation of social movements, and the substitution of functions and services. The insights from literature are illustrated and qualified by applying them in the context of concrete local initiatives. Finally, local initiatives will be portrayed as social contexts that are successful in gathering actors with different motivations and world views and that may contribute to the democratization of innovation.
