Description :
The best thing that can happen to food is that it makes it to our plates and is enjoyed.
Avoiding throwing out food that could have been eaten will save you money and help reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. Home composting is a great way to stop this sort of waste
ending up in landfill, and our gardens will really thank us for it. If you live in an area that
has a local food waste recycling collection service, you can use this to dispose of anything
you can\'t eat, or compost at home. It can be recycled into a good quality soil improver or
fertilizer and even generate electricity that can be fed back into the national grid. Recycling
food waste is as important as recycling other household rubbish like glass, cans and paper.
When organic waste is put in landfill it biodegrades and has serious environmental
consequences. Here in this paper we will be looking forward to different ways of food
recycling which will help us in reducing the waste.
