Millions of people are being urged to take part in Plastic Free July. Yet we know consumer choice is only one part of the picture. Eliminating plastic waste requires broader structural change, explains experts from @RMIT.

A new report led by @RMIT's @bhavna_middha with @FoodWasteCRC and @meatlivestock shows inconsistent #fridge temperatures and confusing cold storage advice could be contributing to #meat waste in Aussie households. ❄️🥩 https://t.co/x4G55MsEMG

“When food is too warm, bacteria multiply too fast. When food is too cold, it can freeze or get freezer burn. Both conditions lead to food spoiling,” says Dr Bhavna Middha, the project lead of the RMIT-led report. https://t.co/pmd7CcmGRc

[RMIT University @RMIT]

Could your fridge be the cause of your meat spoiling too quickly?❄️

A new report has shown that inconsistent fridge temperatures and confusing cold storage advice could be contributing to meat waste in Aussie households.

[RMIT SPT Reading Group @RMIT_SPT]

Using social.practice theories, this report examines how everyday practices of food shopping, storage, and eating connect with cold storage.

[Bhavna Middha @bhavna_middha]

"The HVAC&R industry often focuses on improving large-scale refrigeration equipment and practices in the food supply chain, our new report shows that refrigeration in households also requires serious attention to reduce Australia’s meat waste"
