The Potential of Polyhydroxyalkanoate Production from Food Wastes
Applied Food Biotechnology, 2019 Background and objective: Over 1 billion tons of foods are wasted every year (not consumed by humans or animals). Most of this waste ends up in landfills. As the global population increases, mankind must look for more sustainable means of living.
