      abstract = {The purpose of this study is to examine the potential of  food waste reduction through the
green purchasing in  Japanese consumers’ tofu purchasing decisions. Tofu is  indispensable
ingredient in Japanese cooking. But, huge  amounts of food waste are produced during the
paper  production process. The Choice Modeling (Random Parameter  Logit Model) is used in
order to quantify the welfare  change associated with the change in the level of local  origin
label, food recycling label, freshness of tofu, and  price attribute for the sample of Japanese
consumers in  August 2012. The consumer has a positive perception of  local origin label, food
recycling label, freshness of  tofu. The choice probability of food recycling labeled tofu  is
estimated at approximately 70%. The results suggest that  green purchasing holds potential for
food waste reduction  in tofu manufacturing sector},
