food waste to value using sustainable 12

The presentation "Food Waste to Value: Innovating for a Sustainable Future" was created for National Science Day 2025, focusing on converting food waste into valuable resources through circular economy principles. It highlights the environmental, social, and economic impacts of food waste and explores solutions such as biogas production, composting, and food waste upcycling. Case studies on innovations, including converting used coffee grounds into biofuel and transforming banana peels into snacks, demonstrate practical applications. The presentation also emphasizes electronic innovations like smart sensors and food waste tracking apps.

1. Food Waste to Value: Innovating for a Sustainable Future

2. Event: National Science Day 2025 - "Turning Waste into Wealth: Innovations for a Circular Economy" BY SARAYU AND SUJI ECE DEPARTMENT

3. Introduction Food waste is one of the most pressing environmental issues today. Global statistics: Around 1.3 billion tons of food are wasted each year worldwide Environmental, social, and economic impacts: Wasted food contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and resource depletion.

4. Circular Economy The idea of a circular economy is to recycle, reuse, and reduce waste by turning it into valuable resources rather than discarding it. Key principles: Sustainability, Innovation, and Resource Efficiency.

5. Olivia Wilson Aaron Loeb SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production SDG 12 aims to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns Focuses on reducing food waste, enhancing resource efficiency, and promoting circular economy practices. Addressing food waste contributes directly to SDG 12 by improving the efficiency of food production and consumption systems.

6. The Problem of Food Waste In India, nearly 40% of food produced is wasted. Food waste generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas, when it ends up in landfills.

7. 03 Challenges: Loss of resources: Wasted water, energy, and labor. Economic Impact: Wasting food equals wasting money, affecting both producers and consumers. Environmental Impact: Loss of biodiversity and excess carbon footprint.

8. Transforming Food Waste to Value Innovative Solutions for Food Waste: Biogas production from food waste. Composting: Converting food scraps into organic fertilizer. Food Waste as Animal Feed: Surplus edible food can be transformed into nutritious animal feed.

9. Case Studies of Food Waste Innovations Used coffee grounds can be converted into biodiesel and biocoal, providing an eco-friendly energy source. Bio-bean, a pioneering company, is leading the way by transforming spent coffee grounds into sustainable energy solutions, significantly reducing waste in the process. case study 1

10. Case Studies of Food Waste Innovations Case Study 2: Food Waste Upcycling Companies Banana Peels into healthy snacks. Citrus Peels into products like bio-plastics.

11. INNOVATION

12. Technological Contributions from ECE Department Electronic Innovations for Waste Management: Smart Sensors: IoT-based solutions for monitoring food freshness and waste reduction. Food Waste Tracking Apps: Helping households track food waste to avoid over-purchasing.

13. The Role of Innovation and Education How Innovation Drives Circular Economy: Integration of science and technology to design eco-friendly solutions. Collaboration between industries, educational institutions, and innovators.

14. Conclusion Food waste is a global problem with significant environmental, social, and economic costs. Innovative technologies and circular economy practices offer practical solutions to reduce, reuse, and recycle food waste. Embrace circular economy practices in everyday life.
