“…Waste, together with productive activities and transport, are relevant sources of environmental degradation and impacts, such as global warming, which involves a significant risk for humanity [3]. Ordinary waste entails almost 50% of organic sources approximately, and food waste (FW) is the highest contributor of that organic fraction [4]. Globally, it is accountable for 4.4 Gt CO 2 eq per year [5].…”
