Abstract:
This study diagnoses Circular Economy practices in Brazil’s food-away-from-home sector using survey data (n=1,002) interpreted through the Design for Sustainability framework. Results show fragmented, technocentric actions and weak collaboration, with minimal regenerative practices. Mapping gaps across DfS levels reveals leverage points for redesign in governance, services, value-chain relations, and ecological loops, highlighting the need for systemic, design-led transitions.
