How is food and post-consumer waste disposed of?
Food waste disposal methods are tailored to the type (code) of waste, its properties (e.g. hazardous) and potential health risks. Organic waste usually ends up in anaerobic digestion plants., where they are processed into biogas (an environmentally friendly fuel) and digestate, which is used as fertiliser in agriculture. Other food waste fractions, e.g. expired packaged food, are separated mechanically – packaging is sent for recycling, and its contents undergo sanitisation and purification processes, and then are converted into biomass. Catering and food waste containing products of animal origin is processed separately and using different processes. Its management is mainly aimed at removal of potential hazards (e.g. contamination) and energy recovery. All hazardous waste, such as food waste from infectious disease wards, is sent to specialised incinerators licensed to process this type of waste.

Catering waste containing mainly fats (e.g. used oil, frying oil, animal fats) are used for the production of biofuels, most commonly biodiesel. Recycling edible oil involves purifying it, e.g. removing food residues and water, filtering it, and then processing it into biofuel in a separate industrial plant.
