“…In spite of the commercial pressures, many grassroots initiatives have developer hybrid oraganisational forms that are organised around a social mission. [20] Advantages of without packaging stores include the fact that you can buy the exact amount of food you require in an unpackaged shop, so there is no food waste. The price in nonpackaging stores is determined by the weight of the food purchased.…”

The article deals with possible ways of elimination of waste from food packaging. It focuses on eliminating packaging waste through unpackaged food stores and the zero waste concept. Elimination of any waste in the form of packaging is an important element of protection and reducing the burden on the environment, and in this context also important element of globalization. The methodological approach is based on a field survey in the form of interviews with customers of a selected packaging-free shop and research aimed at identifying awareness and the use of packaging-free stores among the general public. The survey also included a comparison of prices of selected foods in the packaging shop and three hypermarkets. The aim of the article is to propose other possible ways to reduce packaging waste when buying food. The survey found that customers from 21 to 30 years old are most likely to shop in unpacked stores. The main reason for buying in unpacked shops is for most customers the effort to reduce the man-made environmental burden and the higher quality of the products sold. The most frequently mentioned disadvantage of this way of buying food is the limited range of products.

“…Social entrepreneurship should focus on innovation and investment, as well as social entrepreneurship is seen as a business that has lead to profit. Social enterprise is a contested concept which has become a site for policy intervention in many countries [22].

The social economy is an integral part of the national economy and, as its third sector, carries out economic activities with a social and environmental objective. Social entrepreneurship can be seen as a business activity that thrives on society and the environment. This fact is very important for both local development and global dimension and impact. The main objective of the paper is to propose the possibility of social entrepreneurship as a factor for the development of the region with the aim of sustainable development while respecting the principles of regional and global politics. The results are interpreted on the basis of both quantitative and qualitative surveys and the information obtained will be used to suggest potential social entrepreneurship in the region’s development. The recommendations are formulated in favor of promoting the social enterprise sector, which has not only a regional impact, but also a global overlap.

“…A resource is said to have idle capacity when it is not being used to its full extent, and therefore a certain amount of it is being underused. Many scholars maintain that this is one of SE's main characteristics [28,30,31,37,94,[96][97][98][99][100], whereby its overriding goal is to make better use of that spare capacity by granting other members of the community access to it.…”

Is Sharing a Better Alternative for the Planet? The Contribution of Sharing Economy to Sustainable Development Goals

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The sharing economy has been presented as a potential contributor to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) due to the change it brings to consumption patterns. Although this potential has been identified in different papers, there is not, as far as we know, a single article that explains in detail all the possible platforms through which the sharing economy can contribute to the achievement of the SDGs. This paper addresses this topic by reviewing the existing literature involving the sharing economy and the SDGs, and by analyzing the main characteristics attributed to this business model, and how each one of them may in theory contribute to the SDGs. Our paper advances the field by establishing hitherto undiscovered relationships between the two concepts, while laying the foundations for corroborating our theoretical findings in future analytical studies.
