| Abstract |
Background: The food systems accounted for a third of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which are closely related to food-derived waste generation from the residential sector and the non-residential sectors. In this regard, one need to take actions on food-derived waste management roadmap toward a circular and sustainable society. Therefore, this food-derived waste issue can be aligned with the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Scope and approach: This work focused on the analysis of the updated database related to the food-derived waste generation, GHG emissions, relevant regulations, and policies/roadmaps for SDGs in Taiwan. In addition, there are four case studies in food-derived waste valorization for producing value-added products as the business models in Taiwan. Key findings and conclusions: Under the regulatory measures for food-derived waste valorization in Taiwan, the contribution percentages of GHG emissions from the waste sector indicated a declining trend, decreasing from about 1.5% in 2010 to about 0.9% in 2021. In addition, the government also declared the corresponding SDG indicators in connection with the food loss & waste reduction and organic farming, thus stepping towards a circular bio-economy and sustainable society. |
