Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Food Waste and Model Food Waste Compounds

Solid waste is generated at a rate of more than 4 lb per person per day. A significant portion of the non-recyclable waste is food waste, with high water content and low energy density. While most thermochemical conversion processes require a relatively dry feedstock, hydrothermal liquefaction uses subcritical water as the reaction medium and is therefore compatible with high-moisture feedstock...

Food Waste on the Agenda

Huge amounts of food waste are generated worldwide. Efficient valorisation strategies ensure that embedded energy and resources are at least partially recuperated. Food waste is a highly biodegradable material with high water content, and as such well destined for biogas production through anaerobic digestion. In order to ensure successful implementation of food waste valorisation via anaerobic...

What a Waste ! Developing the Food Waste - Preventing Behaviors Scale – A Useful Tool to Promote Household Food Waste - Prevention

By causing high amounts of household food waste, German households contribute significantly to serious global threats for the environment. Unfortunately, current information campaigns, conducted by several food waste-prevention initiatives, often lack in recipient’s perceived relevance of provided recommendations on how to prevent household food waste by improving the performance of relevant fo...
