“…Biogas production has become common practice or is considered to be implemented or expanded in many countries [1]. This trend can be attributed to a number of advantages combined in anaerobic digestion: it is suitable for manifold feedstocks including diverse types of organic residues; it can be integrated into multi-faceted production systems for food, feed, bioenergy and biomaterials; and it can be adapted in a variety of scales from household to large commercial plants [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Several countries have promoted biogas production by subsidies either in the form of feed-in tariffs or through supporting investments [1,[8][9][10].…”

“…Residues from the entire food supply chain (production, processing, distribution, storage, and sale), as well as the organic fraction of municipal solid wastes (OFMSW) (e.g., organic residues from households, kitchens, restaurants, factory lunch rooms and supermarkets, as well as leaves, grass clippings, or yard trimmings), are valuable feedstocks for anaerobic digestion [2,[97][98][99][100][101][102]. Currently, in Germany only 20-30% of the yearly 9.8 Million tons of organic household residues are treated in anaerobic digestion plants [11].…”

After nearly two decades of subsidized and energy crop-oriented development, agricultural biogas production in Germany is standing at a crossroads. Fundamental challenges need to be met. In this article we sketch a vision of a future agricultural biogas plant that is an integral part of the circular bioeconomy and works mainly on the base of residues. It is flexible with regard to feedstocks, digester operation, microbial communities and biogas output. It is modular in design and its operation is knowledge-based, information-driven and largely automated. It will be competitive with fossil energies and other renewable energies, profitable for farmers and plant operators and favorable for the national economy. In this paper we discuss the required contribution of research to achieve these aims.

“…Food waste management is also included in reverse logistics processes that will cover up the CSR program of the company which in summary it is expected that there will be initiatives and campaigns from the company to tackle food waste using food waste management program as a reverse logistics process in the company. Food waste is a key issue, which has direct environmental, economic, and social impacts, in attempts to achieve global food security and good environmental governance (Dahiya et al 2017, Stenmarck et al 2016. The main issue of this research is that large amounts of food are produced for human consumption, but never consumed.…”

“…Food waste (FW) is a key issue, which has direct environmental, economic and social impacts, in attempts to achieve global food security and good environmental governance (Dahiya et al, 2017;Stenmarck et al, 2016). In China, the Circular Economy has been proposed to reduce, reuse and recycle FW (Dodick and Kauffman, 2017).…”

The current status of FW generation, including its characteristics, management, and current challenges in China, were analyzed, and further suggestions were made with regards to improvement. About 19.50% of the FW generated could be treated under the current designs for treatment capacity in China. FW characteristics show great * * Corresponding author. Address: (Y. Jin). Recently, the rapid development of the Chinese economy and the growing environmental consciousness of the government and citizens have also led to the rapid development of FW treatment capacity in China. As an important means of environmental protection, the construction of FW treatment plants has attracted considerable attention. China has made major contributions to its FW management capacity. Between 2011 and 2015, 100 pilot projects were established by four ministries † to enhance FW resource recovery. FW treatment typically consists of † Chinese National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and Ministry of Environmental Protection and Ministry of Agriculture 3 anaerobic digestion (AD), composting, and animal feeding, while the treatment capacity of these methods ranges from 20 to 3990 tons per day. There is still a large gap between the amount of FW generated and designed capacity (30,000 tons per day) according to the 12 th Five-year Plan for Economic and Social Development of the Peoples Republic of China (2011 to 2015). Moreover, China has issued specified policies and regulations on FW management (Bi et al., 2016). However, the FW generated in different regions and seasons often varies in terms of total solid (TS), volatile solid (VS), crude protein (CP), Carbohydrate (CA), and ether extract (EE)compositions (Galanakis, 2015). Therefore, the high production and significant variation in the composition of FW creates a large challenge for countries with a vast area, large population and the major differences between regions, urban and rural areas, and ethnic groups.The rapid construction of FW treatment facilities during the 12 th five-year plan has been completed and the 13 th five-year plan (2016 to 2020) has recently been released. This is a good opportunity to summarize and analyze the current state of FW management in China. FW treatment in China consists of a variety of processing technologies, treatment scales, and recycling methods, and this state-of-the-art review will assess to identify a focus for researchers and engineers to support future policies and business innovations. However, little systematic research on the current state of FW management in China is available. Information from previous relevant studies needs to be updated, and some results, such as the amount of FW generated nationally, are inconsistent (40 to 90 million tons per year) (De Clercq et al., 2016;Yang et al., 2012;Zhang et al., 2014). This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the current state of FW treatment facilities in mainland China and clearly identify future research directions.The review cov...
