Forecasting End Products in Food Waste Management System for a Circular Future
Short Introductive summary
The aim of this study is to quantify the household food waste flows and end-products from generation to final treatment today and in the future to assess their circularity potential. The analysis is done for a large Scandinavian city with forecasting based on historical data. A hypothetical case was developed for future's food waste management system to handle the changing food waste amount assuming that there might not be sufficient biogas plant capacity in the future, and eventually the “surplus” of food waste may be sent to energy recovery. The energy recovery from food waste through incineration is considered as a temporary solution and a way to address a mismatch between the current system and upcoming needs.
