Turning food waste to energy and resources towards a great environmental and economic sustainability: An innovative integrated biological approach
Abstract
Food waste (FW) management is a global conundrum because of the rapid population growth and growing economic activity. Currently, incineration and landfill are still the main means for FW management, while their environmental sustainability and economic viability have been in question. Recently, the biological processes including anaerobic digestion, aerobic composting, bioethanol fermentation, feed fermentation etc. have attracted increasing interest with the aims for energy and resource recovery from FW. However, these biological approaches have inherent drawbacks, and cannot provide a comprehensive solution for future FW management. Therefore, this review attempts to offer a critical and holistic analysis of current biotechnologies for FW management with the focus on the challenges and solutions forward. The biological approaches towards future FW management should be able to achieve both environmental sustainability and economic viability. In this instance, the concept of zero solid discharge-driven resource recovery has thus been put forward. According to which, several innovative biological processes for FW management are further elucidated with critical analysis on their engineering feasibility and environmental sustainability. It turns out that that there is an urgent need for turning current single task-orientated bioprocess to an integrated biological process with multiple tasks of concurrent recovery of water, resource and energy together with zero-solid discharge.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
