Abstract Taking Chongqing hotpot as an example, this study collected the food waste data of 124 tables from 13 hotpot restaurants in the main districts of Chongqing by weighing the wastes and questionnaire survey. Then the embedded carbon footprint was calculated by the life cycle assessment (LCA) method. The results showed that the average food waste in Chongqing hotpot catering was 98.4g/cap/meal, which was slightly higher than that of the urban catering industry. Among the food wastes, 88.7% was cooked food and only 11.3% was raw food. Vegetables contributed most to the total food waste (44.0%), followed by animal offal and other by-products (21.4%) and meat (12.9%). In terms of the influencing factors of food waste in Chongqing hotpot, there were apparent negative relationships between the food waste and the number of consumers per table as well as their ages. The carbon footprint of food waste of Chongqing hotpot was estimated to be 0.4kg CO2 eq/cap/meal. In terms of different food types, animal offal and other by-products contributed most to the total carbon footprint (32.2%), followed by meat (30.3%). In contrast, the most wasted vegetables had a relatively low carbon footprint, accounting for 21.9% of the total carbon footprint. Finally, we proposed related suggestions concerning the hotpot industry for reducing food waste and promoting sustainable consumption, therefore provided a quantitative reference for alleviating the pressure on environment caused by food waste.
