Food Waste constitutes about 20% of waste disposed of in Singapore. It has strictly no value for a waste-to-energy strategy as food waste is mainly composed of water and therefore requires a lot of energy to burn. The good news is Food Waste has value!

Food Waste includes:

• the food products we buy but do not use. They could be donated to be used by others.
• the food we order or cook but do not eat.

First, by making sure we order or cook what we need, we could significantly decrease our waste.

Second, by composting this waste (at least the veggie part of it), we can decrease the food waste sent to incineration.
