Environmental and Economic Assessment of Alternative Food Waste Management Scenarios

Dimitrios Mathioudakis et al.

Summary: The aim of this paper is to examine the environmental and economic performance of alternative household fermentable waste (HFW) management scenarios. The current waste management system in Greece involves disposing HFW in landfills, while this study proposes a series of alternative approaches based on source separation. The results indicate that these alternatives outperform the existing scenario in terms of both economic and environmental performance.

Sugarcane bagasse based biorefineries in India: potential and challenges

Kakasaheb S. Konde et al.

Summary: Sugarcane bagasse is a common agricultural residue, with approximately 100 million tonnes produced annually in India. Currently used for cogeneration of steam and power, there is potential for more sustainable methods of utilization. Biorefineries focusing on biogas and bioethanol production, along with high-value chemicals like xylitol, succinic acid, and lactic acid, could provide a profitable and eco-friendly solution for sugar mills' waste management.
