We're seeing the global food waste management market predicted to grow nicely in the coming years, thanks to growing worries about the environment. People are really starting to understand the need for better food waste management and to cut down on greenhouse gases, which should give the market a real boost through 2028. Plus, we're using more organic food waste to make things like fertilizers and animal feed, which is helping things along. And let's not forget our changing diets and the whole "food on the go" trend – that's pushing the market forward too. Now, it's not all smooth sailing. Getting waste properly sorted and collected can be a bit of a challenge, and some common methods like landfills and incineration can actually make environmental problems worse. On top of that, the COVID-19 pandemic and all the lockdowns led to even more food waste piling up, which hasn't been great for the market.
So, how's the world dealing with all that leftover food? Well, the global food waste management market is a big deal, and it's broken down in a bunch of ways – by what we're throwing away, how it's being processed, where it's coming from, and even who's doing the throwing! When it comes to type of waste, think everything from cereals and dairy products to fruit & vegetables, meat, fish & seafood, oilseeds & pulses, processed food, coffee grounds & tea, and, well, others. And get this – all those fruits & vegetables are likely to be the biggest category, probably because everyone's trying to be healthy these days! Plus, let's be honest, tons of produce gets tossed even before it hits the store shelves. Then there's the process of handling all this waste. You've got things like aerobic digestion (composting), anaerobic digestion, incineration/ combustion, and more. Expect anaerobic digestion to be a big player in the future. After all, who doesn't like the idea of turning waste into energy and useful stuff?
