dc.description.abstract | The environmental, energy and economic assessment compares how multi-families homes in Calgary (for those not home composting) using landfills as the current process to manage their food waste as oppose to the possible solution of kitchen food waste disposer units. A third scenario discussed in a future planned source- separated organic plant to centralize composting of green (food and yard) waste. The functional unit for the study is one ton of organic waste produced by the MF households in Calgary. This study unidentified that food waste disposers environmentally had a 58% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, but a 41% increase in energy consumption and a considerable economic cost to the upstream and downstream wastewater sewage infrastructure. | |
