A Food Waste Disposer (FWD) is a device, which is usually electrically powered and installed under a kitchen sink between the sink's drain and the trap. It shreds food waste into pieces small enough—generally less than 2 mm (0.079 in)—to pass through plumbing. Increasing per capita income, affordability, dual-income population, space constraint...

Food waste is a massive issue that has grave environmental and economic repercussions. Approximately 90 million tonnes of food waste is generated annually in Europe, which could increase by 35% if no actions are taken. The European commission and the United Nations have targets to cut the amount of food waste by 50% by 2025. Waste management compan...

Food waste management has gained increased emphasis in recent times, especially in the context of the recently adopted United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The initiative is driven mainly by the need to address declining natural resources, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and to reduce waste disposal into landfills. The current study gi...
