Food waste volume and composition in Finnish households
British Food Journal, 2014Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to determine the volume and quality of food waste in Finnish households and discuss drivers for waste being produced.Design/methodology/approach– In total, 380 households weighed all solid food waste and liquid milk waste daily each time they disposed food during a two-week period.

Effects of compositions on food waste composting
Bioresource Technology, 2008The objective of this work was to provide a method of predicting important parameters (composting time, highest temperature, final and lowest pH values, cumulative CO2 evolution, and percentages of material losses) that characterized the composting process of synthetic food waste in terms of weight fractions of protein and fat.

Chemical composition and methane potential of commercial food wastes
Waste Management, 2016There is increasing interest in anaerobic digestion in the U.S. However, there is little information on the characterization of commercial food waste sources as well as the effect of waste particle size on methane yield. The objective of this research was to characterize four commercial food waste sources: (1) university dining hall waste, (2) waste ...

Utilization of Food Waste as Materials for Composite Plastic Tile
2019 IEEE 11th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management ( HNICEM ), 2019Nature has a lot to offer to people. Source of food and income are just few. Waste from natural sources of food is abundant in coastal areas where the source of living is fishing. The study is focused on utilizing food waste from Cerastoderma edule commonly known in the Philippines as Litob and river sand as additives in making recycled (high density ...

Understanding the Composition of Food Waste
2019Due to existing application gap, the diverse microorganisms and their processes in food waste have not been maximally explored or harnessed. This chapter addresses the possible application of “-omics” technologies to understand food waste microbial composition and metabolic processes, to stimulate future research in mining food waste for important ...

Waste Management & Research: The Journal for a Sustainable Circular Economy, 2009
Recent media attention has amply demonstrated the need for changes in our society regarding waste. The cost of waste is rising, European legislation is driving forward waste reduction policies and industry is being made responsible for the waste that all products make. This legislation is also driving a reduction in biodegradable municipal waste.

Substrate composition and moisture in composting source‐separated human faeces and food waste
Environmental Technology, 2009The composting of a faeces/ash mixture and food waste in relative proportions of 1:0, 1:1 and 1:3 was studied in three successive experiments conducted in Kampala, Uganda in 216 L reactors insulated with 75 mm styrofoam or not insulated. The faeces/ash mixture alone exceeded 50 degrees C for < or = 12 days in insulated reactors, but did not reach or ...
