Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Sustainable Food Waste Management: Resource Recovery and Treatment covers the latest methods of food waste management and resource recovery from a sustainability perspective and is suitable for universities, municipalities, and companies working in the field. This book provides a comprehensive account of food waste chemistry, the latest techniques for food waste treatment and recycling, sustainability assessment (social, economic, environmental), and challenges in food waste management. The book explores recycling to value-added products using sustainable concepts and methodologies, and is useful as a course or reference book for biochemical engineering, environmental sustainability, and waste management.
- Covers recycling to value-added products using sustainable concepts and methodologies
- Provides an exhaustive description of general treatment options and their evaluation guidelines in terms of cost, energy consumption, and waste generation, enabling readers to understand the principles behind various recovery and treatment schemes
- Describes existing and emerging food waste recycling technologies, products obtained, and process efficiencies
- Offers a thorough account of critical factors and challenges in food waste valorization, such as handling of new emerging contaminants, end-product purity, and life-cycle assessment
postgraduates and PhD students taking modules on Green Chemistry and Environmental Technology, Waste Valorisation, Environmental Science, Sustainable Development, and Agricultural Science, It will also benefit municipalities, industry professionals and product developers who are looking at improved economic and environmental means of utilising waste streams for resource recovery
