Practical Plan For Hospital Food Waste Recovery

A typical 1,000-bed hospital reported serving over 8,600 meals/day. Over half were patient meals, and the rest divided between the main cafeteria, small food service vendors and the doctors’ dining room.

A comprehensive food waste progam for a typical 1,000 bed hospital can be carefully designed to become successful and sustainable.

Published since 1960, BioCycle is recognized worldwide for its authoritative coverage on composting, organics recycling, anaerobic digestion, renewable energy and community sustainability.

BioCycle magazine, BioCycle.net and BioCycle Conferences are your go-to source for recovering the maximum value out of every ton of organic waste and wastewater generated. BioCycle shows how to process organic residuals — yard trimmings, food waste, woody materials, biosolids, manure, high strength organic wastes, municipal solid waste (MSW), and other source separated feedstocks into value-added products — and create jobs and green enterprises. Products include compost and engineered soils, biogas-derived electricity, vehicle fuels and renewable natural gas. Products that renew agricultural and urban soils, reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
