Abstract

The use of food waste disposers (FWDs) can be an emerging option to manage organic food wastes in municipal sewage system. The cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of introducing domestic FDWs is conducted to access the allowable disposer market price and the economic impact on food waste management from conventional solid waste management system. If the convenience value of 10,000 won/month is taken into consideration based on survey results, the introduction of FDWs can lead to net economic benefits, allowing the capital cost of disposer up to 1,000,000 won/unit. Without the consideration of convenience value, the introduction of FWDs becomes profitable if the capital cost of disposer is less than 50,000 won/unit. In case that the value of convenience is more than 7,000 won/month, the reduction of food waste management cost is not valid for the introduction of FWDs to be non-profitable. However, if environmental externalities are considered, the proposed system could become breakeven with the cost of food waste management decreases by 54 % (60,000 won per ton).
