Food Waste Fraction Analysis
In today’s world, food waste is a significant environmental and social challenge. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management plays a critical role in addressing this issue by ensuring the proper disposal and recycling of materials that can be beneficially repurposed rather than left to rot.
Food Waste Fraction Analysis involves the systematic separation and quantification of organic waste fractions within MSW streams. This service is designed to identify the extent of food waste content in a given sample, which helps municipalities and waste management companies to make informed decisions about recycling and composting practices. Understanding the composition of food waste allows for more efficient and effective handling, thereby reducing landfill use.
The analysis typically includes various steps such as sample collection from MSW streams, preliminary sorting, and subsequent chemical or physical separation processes to isolate the food waste fraction. This process ensures that only organic materials are targeted for recycling, which can then be used in agricultural applications or biogas production.
Accurate analysis is essential not just for environmental benefits but also for compliance with regulations such as those set by international standards like ISO 15238:2016. This standard provides guidelines on the sampling and analysis of waste streams, which can help ensure that the testing process adheres to best practices.
Our laboratory employs advanced instrumentation and methodologies to conduct these analyses with precision and reliability. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, we provide accurate data that is crucial for decision-making in waste management strategies.
