Household Food Waste (HFW) in Victoria
The cost of FW treatment in Victoria
**Sustainability Victoria 2015; Victorian Government, 2013
2012 -2013 financial year **
Tonnes of garbage collected 1,102,150
Total cost $229.6 million
No. households 2,359,764
Collected per household (yr) 467 kg (7% ↑)
Cost per household (yr )
$97.29
(7.8 % ↑, more than three times of the CPI of 2.2 % ↑ in some
period of one year time, 99.1% for over ten years time)

Research objectives To identify specific areas for further research and development in HFW
treatment technologies and management systems in the Australian context.
To assist Australian Governments in adopting the best strategies and technologies.
To improve the understanding of the challenges/opportunities in this area via “Micro Circular Economics”.
To facilitate the introduction and adoption of these findings and new technologies into Australian households.
A systematic approach1. Carry out a search strategy to establish the current status of
food waste management worldwide.
2. Review existing food waste treatment (FWT) technologies worldwide.
Biological treatment - anaerobic digestion (AD)

Biological treatment - composting

Other treatment methods – e.g. domestic food waste processing
Blend and flush into sewage system (water intensive)
Dehydrate to reduce garbage volume (energy intensive)

Relative environmental impacts of different food waste treatment technologies
Global Warming Potential (GWP) from 1 tonne of food waste treated with different technologies - according to reviewed 105 studies *
Tech-system GWP kgCO2-eq/ton economic
Anaerobic Digestion (AD)
- 375 to 440 kg (mainly from transportation and pre-
treatment) *Highest benefit up to 80% efficiency (in biogas) **
Commercial Composting
(CC)
-900 to 1000 kg (large scale)*
50 to 2000 kg (small scale)*
“Systems which include free or unconstrained garden waste collection
services tend to be more costly than those which target food waste only” #
Incineration Treatment (IT) -305 to 640 kg * 23% efficiency (in heat) **
Landfill (LF) 302 to 1200 kg * Any biogas collection rate under 70% will cost financial loss ##
Food waste processor
(FWP)
Will increase the impact from sewage treatment
plant (ST)
Increase investment in capital or upgrade the waste water treatment facility and sewage
system. “it can also perform worst” ^
Economic considerations are also important!

Centralised (large scale) – Collection, Sorting, Treatment
Decentralised (small scale) – on-site treatment
Current household food waste management systems
HFW: household food waste; KB: kitchen bin; GB: garbage bin; CC: commercial composting plant; AD: anaerobic digestion plant;IT: incineration treatment plant; ST: sewage treatment plant; HC: home composting bin; FWP: food waste processor.
The concepts of Circular Economics (CE) and Micro Circular Economics (MCE)
Concluding remarks
Proposed new HFW treatment and system
AD + innoculationEnhanced biogas production?
