Composting: An alternative waste management option for food processing industries

In the food processing industries, up to 30% of incoming raw materials becomes waste rather than a value-added product. Dealing with this waste is an urgent matter for many of these industries as landfill sites close, as operators restrict the amount of waste that can be brought into landfill sites, and as regulations have eliminated some of the previously used disposal practices. In many cases, composting can provide a viable alternative method for managing organic wastes. This article reviews various composting methods and their applications in the food processing industries.
