Techniques for Recovering and Recycling Commercial Food Scraps
 
Co-Hosted by AROW
 


The amount of food that gets wasted every year is staggering. According to the U.S. EPA, food scraps are the largest component of the waste stream by weight in the United States (EPA). In 2008, there were 32 million tons of food scraps, or 12.7% of America’s total municipal solid waste stream. Of that, only 3% was recovered or recycled; the remaining 31 million tons were thrown in landfills or incinerators.

In an effort to change this negative trend, there are a growing number of opportunities to recover and recycle food scraps. This webinar will explore three different techniques for approaching food waste recycling, particularly from a commercial perspective.


Speakers:
Michael Keleman of InSinkErator will discuss the use of anaerobic food digesters as a viable option for food waste diversion from landfills. Discarding food waste in a disposer for transportation to a wastewater treatment facility is one option for keeping food scraps out of landfills. Michael will discuss how this technique is being expanded for commercial use, and share a pilot study that was done with Outpost Natural Foods grocery stores to divert its food scraps from solid waste landfill disposal.

Heidi Ringhofer of Western Lake Superior Sanitary District (WLSSD) will speak about the source separated organics material composting programs that WLSSD has implemented. After passing a Solid Waste Ordinance in September 2006, WLSSD now approaches waste management with goals of resource recovery and pollution prevention. Heidi will discuss the innovative approach WLSSD is taking to help both residential and business customers reduce the amount of food waste they produce and send to landfills.

Dean Stewart of Sanimax will talk about the viability of organic waste collection programs. Sanimax is collecting organic waste such as outdated fruits, vegetables and bakery items, and diverting them from landfill by bringing them to commercial composting sites and bio-digestion operations. Dean will share a case study of the food scraps Sanimax is now collecting from Wal-Marts across Wisconsin and Minnesota and how it fits in its model of reclaim, renew and return.
