Food waste emerges at various stages of food processing. At any point in this chain, if some portion is discarded, it becomes food waste. This includes inedible parts like peels or seeds and any food that is no longer safe for consumption. Ensuring food safety involves removing unsafe materials, but businesses also have a duty to dispose of food waste responsibly.
Food waste significantly impacts the environment, contributing to climate change through the release of decomposition gases. Additionally, improper disposal, especially of animal-based foods, can spread disease.
Therefore, understanding and applying the waste hierarchy (below) is crucial in mitigating these effects, for businesses throughout Birmingham and the West Midlands.
Minimise or eliminate food waste, with a strategy such as managing inventory to ensure timely use and proper storage to delay spoilage. Prevention ensures that food, whether consumed by people or animals, does not go to waste.
Compositing, or the process of anaerobic digestion which breaks down food waste in an oxygen-free chamber to produce biogas, which can be used for energy. The remaining digestate is pasteurised for use as a biofertiliser.
Though not ideal for food waste, recovery involves incinerating waste to harness energy from the resultant heat, thereby reducing landfill burden. This step aims to extract value from waste before its final disposal.
When food waste cannot be repurposed or recycled, methods include incineration, landfill disposal, or sewage disposal. This step signifies that all other options have been exhausted, and the waste must be discarded.
