Using food waste as a resource

The world’s population is increasing year by year, and as a result, food waste continues to increase. About 26 million tons of food waste is produced in Japan and 2.5 million tons in Tokyo. In Tokyo, most of them are not recycled and are burned together with combustible waste and landfilled.

It is treated as waste as it is. If it can be utilized, it is a resource. Therefore, we have begun efforts to utilize food waste as a resource. The technology we have utilizes the action of microorganisms. Fermentation decomposition technology. Because it can be returned to the soil faster than before and can be treated with less odour and flies. You can create a processing facility even within the living area of a person. The traditional method is to burn moist food waste with dry combustible waste. It consumed a lot of fuel and emitted a lot of greenhouse gases.However, by using this technology, fuel that burns combustible waste. It is possible to significantly reduce the large amount of carbon dioxide that would have been generated by that.

And the remaining soil becomes fertilizer for growing the next crop. The generated gas replaces fossil fuels as biogas. As a new resource, it can greatly contribute to the global environment. As an environmental business, first of all, while solving Japanese issues. I would like to contribute to many countries and regions around the world.
