of food waste, and (iii) food habits of people. Therefore, food
wastes are rather complex and diverse in nature. Well designed
valorization strategies can be devised to trap these food waste and
can be converted to high value products [90]. Sucessful utilization
of food waste is also dependent on the development of new and
cost-effective technologies that can be used for waste valorization.
For instance, collaboration between different research areas such
as chemo-catalysis, bio-catalysis, biotechnology, downstrem processing,
and environmental engineering are required for developing
cutting edge food waste valorization technologies.
Food waste recycling and its utilization as a resource is hampered
by fuggy and outdated regulations, which is supported by
low level of social awarness. Many important intitiatives and
campaigns are needed by civil society groups, non-government
organizations, food industries and government to bring awarness
among the people about the value of food waste and aginst the
traditional perception that waste needs to thrown away. Furthermore,
goverment organization should formulate policies to promote
enterpreanues and industrialists for the utilization of food
wastes. A fixed budget needs to be allocated in each financial year
to build and manage food waste recycling facilities. Generally,
taxes have biggest impact on the cost of biofuel and duty reductions
are required to make biofuel cheaper. Such policies and
initiatives will help in building a sustainable society.
