Research on food waste source classification recycling

Abstract

Restaurant food waste has been changed from solid waste into resources. As the existing disposal of restaurant food waste are lack of uniform quality standards, food waste collected from the restaurants which mixing with impurity such as paper and plastic may cause food waste handling companies cannot run continuously and equipment failures, holding back the food kitchen waste resource utilization industry's sustainable development. This situation could be changed from following aspects, such as policy, management, economics, and the development of source classification of food waste treatment standards. Different productions for recycling food waste requires different quality of food waste, the corresponding processing cost is also different. Recycling food waste can be divided into three grades according to their quality, different grades of food waste recycling for different recycling prices. And the classification also helps improves the quality of food waste.
