About the research project

The doctoral studentship position is within the doctoral programme in Resource Recovery and will be part of the research group Resource Management. The research project aims to develop and implement an AI-based smart bin to measure both the amount and type of food waste that is discarded. The implementation will primarily take place at a school, restaurant, or retirement home in Borås, Sweden.

The information collected using this smart bin will be used to identify which interventions can help reduce food waste. These interventions will then be implemented and the results will be analysed. The project thus contributes to the overall ambition to reduce the environmental impact of food waste.
