| Summary: | This research responds to global targets to halve food waste by 2030 and the Australian abalone industry’s need to maximise returns on catch by utilising shucking by-products. Both these exigencies are addressed by quantifying food waste and understanding its drivers. Analysis revealed that Australia’s wild-harvest abalone industry faces several barriers to recovering and valorising commercially-viable volumes of waste arising from heavily-regulated supply and vast geographical distances. Supply chain collaboration is necessary to overcome these challenges. |
