Enhancing food security and environmental sustainability: A critical review of food loss and waste management

Resources Environment and Sustainability, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 4, P. 100023 - 100023

Published: March 24, 2021

Food loss and waste (FLW) occurs at each every stage of the food supply chain. The current linear model FLW management (incineration landfill) creates a path nutrients utilization, which threatens security environmental sustainability in long run. Circular economy has been proposed as an efficient strategy to reduce recycle FLW. Although many literature reviews were conducted realize transition from circular economy, more focused rigorous assessment reduction recycling is currently not available. A lot work remains order translate this "circular model" into actionable plan. By reviewing recent progress literature, paper highlights their pros cons provide deep comprehensive understanding about model". This review can deeper analysis "circular" solutions existing pathways, play important role enhancing future.

Environmental Impact Assessment of Food Waste Management Using Two Composting Techniques

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 12(4), P. 1595 - 1595

Published: Feb. 20, 2020

Food waste is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and therefore global warming. As such, the management of food can play fundamental role in reduction preventable associated with waste. In this study, life cycle assessment (LCA) has been used evaluate compare environmental impact two composting techniques for treating using SimaPro software; windrow hybrid anaerobic digestion (AD) method. The based on 1 tonne as functional unit case study State Qatar, concludes that combined presents smaller burden than composting. majority generated are due use fossil fuels during transportation, which correspond approximately 60% total impact, followed by 40% especially terms warming potential. Environmental impacts were highest acidification category (9.39 × 10 − kg SO2 eq). While AD was human toxicity (3.47 1,4 DB

Biodegradation of Different Types of Bioplastics through Composting—A Recent Trend in Green Recycling

Catalysts, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(2), P. 294 - 294

Published: Jan. 28, 2023

In recent years, the adoption of sustainable alternatives has become a powerful tool for replacing petroleum-based polymers. As biodegradable alternative to petroleum-derived plastics, bioplastics are becoming more and prevalent have potential make significant contribution reducing plastic pollution in environment. Meanwhile, their biodegradation is highly dependent on The leakage into environment long degradation time frame during waste management processes major concerns that need further investigation. This review highlights extent rate bioplastic composting, soil, aquatic environments, examines biological environmental factors involved process. Furthermore, research long-term fate natural industrial environments. roles played by enzymes as biocatalysts metal compounds catalysts through composting can help achieve approach biopolymers. knowledge gained this study will also contribute development policies assessments waste, well provide direction future development.
