One-third of food produced is lost or wasted globally per year along different agri-food supply chains, with the fruits and vegetables supply chain representing the highest wastage rate. These generated waste streams can be valorised by recycling strategies in order to add value and deal with negative impacts. However, the valorization strategies of these streams are affected for their variability and perishability. For this reason, this study analyses how the concept of quality-controlled logistics (QCL) and its six elements might deal with these characteristics in order to fulfil the expected quality and availability requirements set by the buyers of these streams. For this, theoretical semi-structure literature reviews comprise theory on valorization chains design and how the six QCL elements are deployed along these. Besides, three projects that give added value to fruits and vegetables waste streams are selected as cases to carry out semi-structure interviews to gather empirical evidence and contrasted it with the conceptual framework developed. Overall, it was found that the QCL approach can be implemented in valorization chains but the deployment of the QCL elements and their interaction might differ based on the valorization chain design and the quality and logistics management decisions made. Therefore, it can support the fulfilment of the quality and availability requirements in this kind of chains.
