Food squanders that is sent to the landfill doesn't innocuously break down.It has a big impact on the environment as it rots and releases methane a harmful greenhouse gas that is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. However, it’s not all bad news as many of us will be able to recycle our food waste. Food waste, for example, natural product and veg peelings, egg shells and utilized teabags can be transformed into something helpful. When recycled, it’s taken to a processing facility where it is turned into electricity to power your local community. Food waste can be recycled into useful resources with organics recycling. There are two main processes used to recycle food waste; In-vessel composting (IVC) and anaerobic digestion (AD).
