2 Setting the Stage Food left overs are the single largest part of the municipal solid waste (MSW) waste stream by weight 25% of the food we prepare each year is thrown out. This is about 96 billion pounds. Food waste includes:» Uneaten food and food preparation scraps from: residences or households commercial establishments institutional sources industrial sources (factory lunchrooms) It costs about one billion dollars to dispose of food waste each year
3 Why is Food Waste and Issue? In % of all of the municipal solid waste generated in the US was food scraps» Less than 3% was recovered Composting Hog feeding operations» Over 97% went to landfills or incinerators When food waste decomposes in landfills under anaerobic conditions methane is produced» Methane is a greenhouse gas 21 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Landfills are the largest emitter of human related methane in the US, 34% of all methane emissions
4 The Food Waste Hiearchy Source Reduction» Reduce the volume of food waste generated Feed People» Donate extra food to food banks, soup kitchens and shelters Feed Animals» Provide food to farmers Industrial Uses» Provide fats for rendering and food discards for animal feed production Composting» Convert food scraps into a nutrient rich soil amendment
5 EPA s Role Mainly non-regulatory for MSW based composts» Biosolids and animal manures are covered under the Clean Water Act» Regulatory authority has been assumed by the states Encourage and support composting of organics» Large scale composting» Home composting Promote end markets for finished compost Provide technical assistance to stakeholders
6 What do we get by diverting food waste? Reduced methane emissions from landfills The ability to use food waste for another purpose Possible reduction in disposal fees The creation of a product from waste» Compost» Food products (via animal feeding) Increased sustainability
7 Opportunities for Using Compost Agricultural uses» Component of potting media» Land application to improve soils Stormwater management/erosion control Revitalization of disturbed soils Remediation of contaminated soils Wetland restoration Alternative landfill cover
8 Region 5 Projects EPA Region 5 has been involved in the follow projects:» Ohio food waste composting Creating a tool kit for generators» Michigan Compost Operators Training Conducting trainings and developing a tool kit» Southern Illinois University Vermicomposting project Taking cafeteria waste and feeding it to worms» Eureka Recycling, St. Paul, MN Supporting a proposed residential collection program» Ho-Chunk Nation's casino composting Composting casino wastes for use on community gardens
9 EPA s Activities Elsewhere in the Country Support of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania grocery store programs Engaging food service vendors at arenas and other large venues Following in-vessel digester project in several areas Promoting the use of compost to manage stormwater and erosion Promoting the use of compost to GreenScapes members,
