Food Waste: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

In the graphic below (reproduced table 1 from the most recent [[WRAP]] briefing note<ref name= "ref1"/>) this is split as around 6,400,000 tonnes of edible food waste and 3,100,000 of inedible food waste (the inedible fraction shown red in the graphic and should not be added to the numbers in black or blue).

Figures in blue are not classed as food waste (food surplus) or by-products and so are not included in the figures in black. They included around 700,000 tonnes of food surplus from manufacturing, retail and hospitality and food services being redistributed via charitable and commercial routes or being diverted to produce animal feed (classified as waste prevention under the food material hierarchy and based on 2015 numbers). This diversion of waste ~~has~~ to be in compliance with the [[Animal By-Products Order]].

# Estimates in the total column exclude farm based tonnage/[[Agricultural Waste]] (shown in grey)

# This includes 780,000 tonnes collected separately by [[~~local authorities[[~~]] and 530,000 tonnes of food waste which is composted at the home

# This includes 780,000 tonnes collected separately by [[Waste Collection Authority|Waste Collection Authorities]] and 530,000 tonnes of food waste which is composted at the home

# This is an estimate based upon research feedback that around half is sent for [[recovery]] (primarily via thermal treatment/[[Energy from Waste) and half is ~~recycled~~ (via [[Anaerobic Digestion]] or [[Composting]])

# This is an estimate based upon research feedback that around half is sent for [[recovery]] (primarily via thermal treatment/[[Energy from Waste]]) and half is classed as [[Recycling|recycling]] (via [[Anaerobic Digestion]] or [[Composting]])

# Destinations of food waste from manufacturing is based on the split identified in 2014 work by [[WRAP]]

# Based on [[~~local authority~~]] ~~collected~~ data that[[ WRAP] have analysed as 79% being [[~~incinerated]] with [[energy recovery~~]], 1% being [[~~incinerated]] without [[energy recovery~~]], and 19% going to [[landfill]]

# Based on [[Local Authority Collected Waste]] data that [[WRAP]] have analysed as 79% being [[Incineration With Energy Recovery]], 1% being [[Incineration Without Energy Recovery]], and 19% going to [[landfill]]

# The split between [[recovery]] and [[disposal]] has been based on the same percentage split as household waste

# The split between [[recovery]] and [[disposal]] has been based on the same percentage split as household food waste

# (note shown as 9 in the table) Examples include spent grain from brewing and dried sugar beet pulp

# (note shown as 10 in the table) Includes 261,000 tonnes from retail and 43,000 tonnes from wholesale

==Destinations of Food Waste==

The [[WRAP]] report does not analyse the proportion of [[Animal By-~~Product~~ Material]], but the nature of the material and its category will determine, to a large extent, the type of disposal/treatment route and the operations needed within that type of disposal/treatment route to meet the regulations.
