One third of all the food that is being produced today is thrown away. Why is that? What can producers, service providers and consumers do to reduce food waste? What role does packing play?
Firms are investing heavily in boosting the smartness of their service systems. Think of McDonalds who developed a smart application to send customers convenient location-specific deals; or Google who is devoting considerable funds into creating ever-smarter homes where customers gain control over a wide array of home devices.
What are the long-term effects of the current economic situation, for both consumers and producers? And how can we guide young adults towards more sustainable consumption. Researchers at Service Research Center (CTF) at 果冻传媒 answer questions on this subject.
Producers want to sell their products, of course, but many will experience lower sales figures.
Public transport is an important part of a sustainable and equal society. In order to accelerate this transition, new knowledge and more research is needed.

The music industry spends a lot of resources on creating innovative concert experiences, and the relationship between the musicians and their fans. With the show Abba Voyage, a giant step is taken towards developing and transforming an already digital industry.
Coming from a region where music plays a big role in our lives 鈥 think about ABBA, Roxette, and Avicii 鈥 it seems inevitable that we became intrigued by the swift pace of innovation within the music industry. In a couple of decades, music production and consumption have moved from LPs to cassettes and CDs, to music piracy and digital files, and most recently to streaming services.

To make our society more sustainable, we need to reduce the carbon footprint of scalable products. This means that it is not enough to invent a new 鈥済reen鈥 technology.

Fredrik Wikstr枚m, Professor in Environmental and Energy Systems at the Service Research Center, 果冻传媒, answers questions about energy prices and shares useful tips on how you can reduce your electric energy consumption.
Why are energy prices soaring in Sweden?
- Above all, it is because energy prices in Europe are so high. Since we have a common electricity market, the demand for Swedish electricity is higher and hence Swedish prices also go up.
What a boost!聽Rarely has it been so much fun to meet people again, as in March when the corona restrictions finally lifted. We had a planning conference in Sunne, and the energy when we could finally interact in the same physical space again, was almost palpable.
Since then, our organisation has reached new heights.
