One major factor, contributing to the emission of greenhouse gas in the environment is generation of hazardous gases in municipal land lls. Due to these potential negative impacts, it is obligatory to estimate the amount and type of land ll gasses to design and build a gas collecting system. Land ll gas emissions are governed by the type of waste, its biodegradability, its methane emission potential, the degree of separation and other miscellaneous factors. There are various US EPA recommendation model. The Land ll Gas Emissions Model (LandGEM) is one the conventional model and also provides better estimation compared to other method. It is used to the amount of gases produced in the land lls of Trichy (Ariyamangalam) land ll and Thanjavur (Srinivasapuram) land lls have been predicted. According to the results, the largest amount of land ll gas emissions would be in 1993 for Trichy (Ariyamangalam) land ll and in 2027 for Thanjavur (Srinivasapuram) land ll. The total amount of produced gas, methane and carbon dioxide would be 16.2E + 10, 8.2E + 10 and 16.2 + 10 cubic meters per year in 1993 for trichy and 13E

“…However, each food waste management approach is linked to a number of drawbacks. For instance, landfills have been widely used for the disposal of food waste [12][13][14]. However, the challenge is that food waste in landfills rots and produces a large amount of methane, a highly powerful greenhouse gas [15].…”

Investigating the Influence of Fly Attractant on Food Waste Recovery through Fly Larvae Production

et al. 2022

The food industry is one of the sectors that produces considerable amounts of solid waste on a daily basis. Handling such waste has been a significant issue of worldwide concern. As a result, research into developing low-cost and effective technology for the recovery of food waste is critical in order to keep pace with the rapidly developing world. This research investigated the potential of maggot production on the recovery of food waste. Four different food waste materials (banana, starch, pineapples, and oranges) were taken into consideration. Additionally, the effect of the fly attractant on the production system’s overall performance was assessed; the fly attractant was a mixture of cattle blood and meat waste. With a correlation index of 0.96 (without fly attractant) and 0.87 (with fly attractant), the number of days before harvesting and the average maggot weight had a very high (positive) correlation. Moreover, it was observed that using a fly attractant increased maggot yield substantially. For instance, the banana materials produced up to 94 g/kg of maggot weight on the eighth day, which is approximately a 32.4% increase from the same material without fly attractant. On the other hand, the trials’ relative dry weight reduction ranged from 52.5% to 82.4%. The results of this study also showed that producing maggots can be a practical method for recovering food waste, particularly when combined with the use of a fly attractant. The residue from the maggot production process can be applied as an organic fertilizer.

Waste recovery is an important aspect towards human and environmental health protection. Unfortunately, proper food waste management is among the serious challenges in the field of solid waste management worldwide. Therefore, it is of great importance to conduct studies towards achieving efficient and cost-effective approaches for food waste management. This study investigated the potential of recovering food waste through maggots’ production as animal feed. The influence of fly attractant application on maggot production was also investigated. The study also investigated the potential of maggot production for waste recovery and reduction. Four different types of food waste (starch food leftovers, rotten bananas and peels, rotten pineapple and peels, and rotten oranges) were used in the investigation process. From the results, it was observed that the application of fly attractants had a significant effect on the production of maggots as determined by the weights after harvesting. Average weight of 94 g/kg of maggot was achieved from banana materials with an application of fly attractant during the 8th day of the cultivation; which is equivalent to a 32.4% increase from the same day when the material was cultured without applying fly attractant. Also, from the starch materials, about 77 g/kg of maggot weight was achieved; which is a 54.6% increase from the same day and the same material but without application of fly attractant. Moreover, the relative dry weight reduction in the trials varied from 52.5% to 82.4%.
