Abstract:
Economic growth, urbanization, industrialization and population growth have led to generation of a considerable amount of solid waste across the world. Kitchen waste accounts for a large portion of collected solid waste in different countries. Deploying different methods to treat kitchen waste contributes to sustainable development. This paper presents real-world insights from a waste management corporation in China, i.e., Weifang Jinxinda bio-chemical Co., Ltd. Different treatment methods, process flow, and conversion rates from waste to a final product are discussed.
