The huge amount of waste produced, and consequently the
great difficulty involved in eliminating it, is still a problem in the
developed societies. This problem is embedded in the economic
system of production and consumption of current society, which
generates an increasingly large amount of waste. This increase in
waste production leads to a risk for both human health and the
environment (Tejedor, 2011). To contribute to a correct waste
management, the design and implementation of new tools are
needed that allow users to reduce the amount of waste generated
and improve waste management. Moreover, the amount and composition
of the waste generated can depend on several factors such
as the time of the year, the climate, the degree of development, the
standard of living, and the eating habits
