Every business generates waste materials. There is increasing pressure from regulatory bodies - through incentives, legislation and financial penalties - to minimise waste production and encourage adoption of more environmentally friendly options for waste management. Waste management in the food industry: an overview provides an introduction to the primary issues in waste production and management. Using straightforward language, this short book: Explains what waste is and the growing importance of its effective management; Describes the different types of waste that arise along the food production chain - including agricultural waste, food processing waste and waste from retail and food service outlets; Outlines the various options for waste minimisation and treatment - from reuse through recycling to disposal; Summarises the role of legislation and environmental management systems in instigating and facilitating the adoption of appropriate technologies and best practice; Provides leads to sources of further information (including many websites) and an extensive list of references for additional reading.
