Composting is a widely used method for processing food waste, particularly organic waste. This biodegradable process breaks down food scraps and organic materials into nutrient-rich soil, reducing the burden on landfills and enabling the return of valuable nutrients to the soil. Home composting, community composting, and industrial composting facilities are all part of the composting ecosystem.

Anaerobic digestion manages food waste by converting organic waste into biogas and nutrient-rich compost through microbial processes. The biogas produced can generate electricity and heat, making this a sustainable solution for waste disposal and energy generation. The WTE process is becoming increasingly popular in handling food waste. This method converts food waste into electricity, heat, or fuel through incineration, pyrolysis, or gasification. This application helps reduce food waste in landfills and produces usable energy from waste.

The EU's stringent environmental regulations and initiatives, such as the Farm to Fork Strategy and the Circular Economy Action Plan, further boost the market. These policies aim to cut food waste in half by 2030, encouraging enterprises to invest in advanced waste management systems. Additionally, rising consumer awareness about sustainability and resource efficiency drives food manufacturers to adopt waste minimization strategies, creating opportunities for innovative solutions in the sector. Hence, strong regulatory frameworks and a thriving food processing industry are accelerating the adoption of sustainable waste management practices.
