The Horizon project PRECIOUS addresses the environmental impacts of food loss and waste prevention (FLWPR) and its rebound effects. The TU Berlin team estimates within this project through online quasi- experiments, the acceptance and the social rebound effect of selected food loss and waste prevention and reduction interventions. Social rebound effects, such as moral licensing need to be quantified and addressed for in FLWPR interventions. Indeed, psychological rebound effect mechanisms associated with FLW interven-tions, e.g. the choice of upcycled food products are likely to restrict FLWPR behaviour at the consumer level. Online experiments will assess the acceptance of upcycled food products. They will be conducted in three European countries.
