Food waste management

Food waste management 

Garbage is collected by wasting food. It is one of the main problems that exists today and because of wasting food, a huge amount of waste is collected all over the world on a daily basis.




Forms of accumulation of food waste

  • Household food waste
  • Waste from hotels and food processing shops
  • Waste generated from agricultural land
  • Food residues resulting from post-harvest damage
  • Expired food waste


There are measures that can be taken to reduce this accumulation of food waste, but these measures have been lost due to the complexity of today's world.

But these wastes can be disposed of effectively by using these food items as raw materials for other by-products.


Products that can use food waste as an ingredient

  • For the production of compost fertilizer.
  • For biogas production.
  • For liquid fertilizer production.
  • Food waste is dried well and used as incinerator.


Here these food wastes and decomposing wastes can be properly managed. The reason for this is that these decompose well and thereby create a favorable soil condition without harming the soil.

And there are many measures that can be taken to reduce the production of food waste.

  • Adding only the amount of food one needs to the diet.
  • Determining the extent of consumer demand in the grocery trade.
  • Adapting to a nutritious diet.
  • Making compost or liquid manure from the decomposing waste that is thrown out of the house.
  • Dispose of food waste in proper ways for proper recycling.
  • Use in animal feed production.
  • Preparing food according to the volume of their food needs.


Ways to make money using biodegradable waste

  • Production of organic fertilizers
  • Production of liquid fertilizers.
  • Decomposable waste is dried well and added to the market as incinerator.
  • Using fish for food production.
  • Collecting biodegradable waste and giving it to waste management agencies and getting money.
  • Minimizing the cost of nutrients used as fertilizer for cultivated land.
