dc.description.abstractWaste generation impacts the environment, energy, economy, and society. Price Look-Up stickers used on the fresh produce become environment litter, can cause compost contamination, and contribute to climate change. This research was conducted to identify alternative and sustainable solutions for Price Look-Up stickers. Two surveys were conducted for the purpose of this research. Survey I was geared towards identifying the potential for adoption of alternative solutions among produce processors and distributors . Survey II was intended for analysing sticker waste disposal practices and attitudes among end consumers. Representatives from the sticker manufacturing industry were interviewed to gain information for analysing the prospects for innovation, availability, and adoption of alternative solutions. I consulted with officials at the Canadian Produce Marketing Association to understand their position on need for alternatives. Findings from the surveys and industry consultations were used to develop recommendations for The City of Calgary.
