O plástico é um material importante e omnipresente na economia e na vida quotidiana. Tem diversas funções que ajudam a enfrentar uma série de desafios com que a sociedade se depara. Porém, o modelo linear da cadeia de valor dos plásticos, i.e, a sua produção, utilização não permite captar os benefícios ambientais e potencialmente económicos de uma abordagem mais ?circular? prejudicando o ambiente. Existe a necessidade de combater os problemas ambientais que ensombram os plásticos e o sector das embalagens alimentares começa a responder a esta necessidade. O LoureShopping pretende implementar um projeto pioneiro na sua área de alimentação correntemente designada pelo seu nome inglês de foodcourt, procurando, em parceria com os seus lojistas da restauração, encontrar formas de reduzir significativamente a utilização de plástico de uso único cedido aos consumidores. A autora, em coordenação com as equipas do LoureShopping, do Sustainability Office e da empresa NOWA, procurou estudar o problema da utilização de materiais descartáveis no foodcourt do LoureShopping. Através de entrevistas estruturadas aprofundadas com os lojistas e questionários quantitativos ao consumidor, percebeu-se quais os itens que podem ser mais facilmente eliminados ou substituídos e quais os que oferecem maior dificuldade ou entraves ao seu desaparecimento. Perceber-se-á, ao longo do relatório de estágio, que há vontade genuína, quer da parte dos lojistas, quer da parte dos consumidores em participar neste projeto, nomeadamente reduzindo a utilização e consumo de plásticos descartáveis.
Plastic is an important and ubiquitous material in economics and everyday life. It has a variety of functions that help to address a number of challenges facing society. However, the linear model of the plastics value chain, i.e. its production and use, does not capture the environmental and potentially economic benefits of a more ?circular? approach that harms the environment. There is a need to tackle the environmental problems that plague plastics and the food packaging sector is beginning to respond to this need. LoureShopping intends to implement a pioneering project in its food area commonly referred to by its English name of foodcourt, seeking, in partnership with its restaurant retailers, to find ways to significantly reduce the use of single-use plastic sold to consumers. The author, in coordination with the teams of LoureShopping, Sustainability Office and NOWA, sought to study the problem of using disposable materials in LoureShopping's foodcourt. Through in-depth structured interviews with shopkeepers and quantitative consumer questionnaires, it was realized which items can be most easily eliminated or replaced and which offer the greatest difficulty or barriers to their disappearance. It will be apparent from the internship report that there is genuine willingness on the part of both retailers and consumers to participate in this project, in particular by reducing the use and consumption of disposable plastics.
