- Abstract
Food waste has been the subject of a number of studies over recent years, especially in more developed countries, such as the United States, where damages are higher. Although a number of technological innovations for food waste management are available, there are just few that are widely used. In this context, this paper aimed to identify and analyze the deposits of patent applications available and involved the food waste management. To perform this research, secondary data were collected through a search expression that involved the key words of the subject addressed, using the US and Brazilian patent offices as a source of data extraction. Thus, in a period delimited between 1976 and 2017, 26 applications for deposits in the INPI (Brazil) and 178 applications for deposits in the USPTO (United States) were found, which were analyzed individually according to inclusion and exclusion criteria that were previously adopted. It has been found that there is a significant increase in the amount of deposit for both countries in the last ten years, although Brazil still has lower numbers compared to the United States.
