A Study On The Generation Rate Of Food Waste And Its Treatment Using Autoclave

Malaysian municipal solid waste (MSW) stream consist of 50 to 60 % of food waste. Nature or characteristics of food waste causes it hard to be managed and whilst cause many environmental problems. Dumping food wastes to the landfill take up a large space area and reducing the lifespan of landfill. U...
