Household Simulation Model: A Dataset for Evaluating Interventions to Reduce Packaging and Chicken Waste in UK Households, 2021-2023

This dataset provides the input files and results for the new Household Simulation Model, which explores the impact of four interventions on the amount of packaging and chicken waste generated in UK households. The interventions studied include pack size availability in the market shelves (PCK), shelf life extension for unopened and opened chicken packs (SFH), food portioning in households (PRT), and the likelihood of checking storage and writing a shopping list before the main shopping event (LST). The dataset is organised into four folders, each representing an intervention, with subfolders containing input files for different scenarios and a summary file with the results. The provided data can be used to analyse the effectiveness of various strategies in reducing packaging and food waste and to inform policy-making and consumer behavior change efforts.
