New Method to Recycle Food Waste into Robust Construction Materials
Written by AZoMMay 26 2021
A majority of the people do not think about the food scraps they dispose of. But scientists from the Institute of Industrial Science at The University of Tokyo have devised a new technique to decrease food waste by recycling disposed vegetable and fruit scraps into strong construction materials.

The amount of household and industrial food waste generated across the world is about hundreds of billions of pounds per year, a huge proportion of which includes edible scraps, such as vegetable and fruit peels.

It sounds like the premise of a comedy sketch, but researchers at the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo led by Yuya Sakai have developed a way to recycle food scraps into construction materials that are stronger than concrete, yet remain edible and tasty.
According to the United Nations, 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted worldwide every year. Some of this is lost due to inefficiencies in the food chain, but large amounts are also wasted because the produce is deemed to be substandard or past its sell-by date, or because scraps and leftovers are simply discarded.
