“Clean Plates, Zero Waste” : An Examination of Anthropomorphic Figures and Positive Affect in Poster Design to Reduce Food Waste
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Introduction After successfully reducing back-of-house waste, the University of British Columbia (UBC) Food Services and UBC SEEDS are working to reduce food waste produced in UBC-Vancouver (UBC-V) residence dining halls. Research Question How do posters with an anthropomorphic figure and positive focus influence food waste production in a residence dining hall? Methods We analyzed previous studies on food waste reduction, behaviour change, and visual interventions, aiming to create a visual intervention promoting food waste reduction. The team designed a poster with minimal written information and a positive tone, hypothesizing that this would reduce food waste from plates. During a six-day baseline period at Place Vanier’s dining hall, Gather, the plate waste of diners was observed and rated on a 0-5 point scale from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. UBC Food Services collected the weight of plate waste in kilograms each day, which was used to augment our analysis. Posters were placed in various locations after this baseline period, and observations and kilogram data were collected in the same fashion. Results Results from our observational data showed a marginal difference in plate waste between conditions (U = 201,265.00, p = .05, rrb = 0.063); however, this was not corroborated by the kilogram data (U = 20.00, p = .95, rrb = -0.048). Though the hypothesis was partially supported, further studies are required. Recommendations We suggest that residence dining halls consider putting up posters based on the ideas of nudge influence, with a positive focus relating to the reduction of food waste. A future study also needs to be conducted to understand why students are so frequently tossing burgers, burger buns, and cakes. Finally, obtaining student feedback could allow the residence dining hall to make necessary adjustments to the menu, reducing potential food waste.
