Fruit and Vegetable Waste Management

Are you aware of the amount of fruit and vegetable waste generated globally every year? It's quite alarming! In fact, organic waste accounts for a significant portion of landfill waste, contributing to environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

​At SEWS-Global, we understand the importance of sustainably managing fruit and vegetable waste.
Our team of experts has developed innovative and effective solutions that can help combat this issue globally. Let's dive deeper into this topic.

What is Fruit and Vegetable Waste?

Fruit and vegetable waste is any organic material that is discarded from the production or consumption of fruits and vegetables. This waste can come from various sources, such as supermarkets, restaurants, and households.

What are the dangers of Fruit and Vegetable Waste Globally?

Here are some dangers of fruit and vegetable waste globally:
  • Organic waste such as fruit and vegetable waste can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, including methane, which is a potent contributor to climate change.
  • When organic waste is sent to landfills, it can generate leachate, a harmful liquid that can contaminate groundwater and soil.
  • Food waste that ends up in landfills also takes up space and contributes to the overall amount of waste produced globally.
  • Rotting fruit and vegetable waste can attract pests and vermin, such as rodents and flies, which can spread disease and cause damage to crops and food storage areas.
  • If food waste is not managed properly, it can create foul odours and attract unwanted insects, which can cause a nuisance for nearby residents and businesses.
  • Discarding edible food is also a waste of resources and can contribute to food insecurity for vulnerable populations, especially when so much food is being wasted globally.

What solutions does SEWS-Global offers for Fruit and Vegetable Waste?

At SEWS-Global, we offer innovative and sustainable solutions to manage fruit and vegetable waste globally. Our organic waste management solutions include:
  • Composting: Our composting solutions convert organic waste into nutrient-rich compost, which can be used as fertiliser for gardens and farms.
  • Anaerobic digestion: We use anaerobic digestion to break down organic waste and convert it into biogas, which can be used for energy production.
  • Recycling: Our recycling solutions help divert organic waste from landfills and turn it into valuable resources.
With these solutions, we can help reduce the amount of fruit and vegetable waste that ends up in landfills, contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment for all.
