Why is the Food waste treatment system essential for you?

food waste treatment in India

Did you know? In India, about 40% of food produced goes to trash. In recent years, there is a growing concern about environmental and economic costs, hunger, and resource conservation associated with food waste among people, which has raised awareness of food loss. Many food processing industries, restaurants, hotels, catering services, etc. discard a lot of organic food waste in landfills every day. The food waste then decomposes or rots without oxygen thereby releasing Green House Gas (Methane) into the air. 

What is Food waste? 

The term “food waste” refers to food items that are fit for human consumption but thrown away. This is often done at supermarkets, and by consumers. There is 40% of food loss at the post-harvest, and different processing stages of food. Statistics show that in developed countries, food is wasted even at the final consumer stage of the food supply.

Environmental Impact of Food waste

Food waste is linked to biodiversity loss, energy consumption, and Green House Gas emissions. When edible food is discarded all the resources required to bring food from the farm to your table are also discarded. Water for irrigation, land for planting, fertilizers, fuel for harvesting, and transport vehicles are all discarded along with the food. For instance, if a restaurant discards edible food to their bin then all resources used for bringing the food from farm to table is also lost. When discarded waste rots in landfills it gives off Green House Gas which is 25 times more efficient at trapping heat than carbon dioxide. About 6% of global Green House gas emission is due to food loss and food waste. It might be a little higher considering the food loss that happens during post-harvest and the different stages of food processing. What sounds more unfair is the total amount of Global Green House Gas emitted from the production of food that is never eaten. The Global emission from food waste is three times higher than that of operating aircraft. 

Recycle your Food Waste

All that food waste that you can’t reuse, don’t send it to landfill. Instead, recycle your food waste to produce Biogas which will be stored in low-pressure. This by-product can be used to produce heat/electricity. All you have to do is install CHUGG- an innovative food waste treatment system in your premises or facility. CHUGG feeds on your everyday food waste, no amount of waste is considered small by CHUGG because recycling every bit of food waste will reduce Green House Gas emission into the air. When food waste is recycled, CHUGG traps the gas and converts it into Biogas which can be used for cooking, fertilizer, and electricity.  

Benefits of Food waste treatment

Just imagine how much food goes into waste every day and how much Green House Gas is emitted every year, also how food waste impacts our lives socially, environmentally, and financially. Considering all these significant reasons we give reasons on how food waste treatment benefits you and the environment.
