| Abstract | Purpose This study aims to offer a research overview of circular food waste management, covering key themes and trends. It analyses state-of-the-art research in this field and proposes an agenda to guide future research. Design/methodology/approach This study outlines bibliometric analysis from a sample of 349 articles with VOSviewer and SciMat software to identify research trend topics. Findings The findings reveal a substantial amount of interest in this field. The main research topics relate to the recovery processes and valorisation of food waste and its conversion into renewable and cleaner materials or energy sources, towards circularity. However, these processes require consideration of social aspects that facilitate their implementation, which are currently under-researched. Practical implications Companies can target their circular food waste management by considering three key aspects. Firstly, the establishment of closer and more sustainable relationships with various stakeholders; Secondly, a regulatory framework and the support of institutions are both required for the correct implementation of circularity. Finally, what is not measured does not exist. It is therefore necessary to establish indicators to measure both the level of development of circularity in waste management and the fulfilment of the established objective. Originality/value This bibliometric analysis looks at the application of circularity principles in food waste management from a holistic perspective, considering different areas of knowledge. |
