With rising food waste, the management activities have gained growing attention, and the disposal options, particularly utilization of food waste for energy recovery, become central. This research examines the factors affecting food waste generation and the tendency to resource food waste. The self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted in newly built multifamily housing estates to collect data, and 300 responses were analyzed. The statistical analysis showed that most of the respondents purchased food materials in largely franchised grocery stores and discarded food that had been too long refrigerated to edible. The lifecycle of food consumption was divided into three states - food purchase plan, cooking and food waste collection. Regression analysis was employed to find out the relationships between three stages and food waste generation or tendency to resource food waste. The results described that food waste generation being affected by the stage of food purchase plan (food waste removal conditions) was statistically significant while it's statistically significant that the stage of cooking (prepurchase considerations) influenced the attitude toward food waste resource. The research findings indicated that food is overconsumed, and further many viewed food waste resources as a proactive and integrative mode in the global wave of sustainability.

This research is to explore food waste management across local governments. In particular, pubic administration on food waste, food waste management (from generation to disposal) and civil complaints in jurisdiction are examined. In doing so, a self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted among civil officers in charge of food waste management, and all the collected responses were statistically analyzed. The main results were as follows: public spending on food waste management was a little larger in metropolises than in provincial cities, and the largest food waste source was identified as households (in housing). While regular collection of food waste by trucks was the most common transport method adopted by local governments, resource recovery for compost/fertilizer production was widely used. Also, most of the respondents agreed that the current approach to food waste handling practices are necessarily replaced with more advanced technology converting waste into energy or fuel. Further, it's found that the civil complaints on food waste management were largely categorized into 3 groups - food waste handling, civil service and food waste retrieval. Therefore, the findings indicate that the development and application of no-food waste or waste-to-resource systems are effective in housing estates where large amount of food waste is generated and eliminated.

본 연구는 음식물 퇴비의 합리적인 시용량을 검증하고, 3년 연용에 의한 토양 변화 및 고추 생육과 수량에 미치는 영향을 평가하고 돈분퇴비를 시용한 대조구와 생육 및 품질 면에서 비교 분석하여 적정한 퇴비 시용량을 설정하기 위하여 실시하였다. 처리구는 1, 2, 3차 연도 모두 동일한 방법으로 무처리구, 대조구(2ton/10a의 돈분퇴비), 음식물 퇴비 2t, 4t, 6t, 8ton/10a을 사용한 처리구 등 6개를 두었으며 3반복, 난괴법을 이용하였다. 음식물 퇴비와 돈분 퇴비의 이화학적 특성을 분석한 결과, 음식물 퇴비의 경우 1차 연도는 유기물과 NaCl 모두 부산물 비료의 공정규격에 적합하였으나, 2차 연도는 유기물이, 3차 연도는 NaCl이 공정규격에 적합하지 않았다. 그리고 돈분 퇴비의 경우 수분함량이 약간의 차이를 보였으나 공정규격을 벗어나지는 않았다. 토양은 음식물 퇴비 시용량이 증가할수록 대부분의 화학적 특성이 증가하였고, 연용에 의해서도 유기물, 치환성양이온, NaCl 등의 양이 증가함을 보여 염류집적이 일어나고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또, 음식물 퇴비 시용량증가에 따라 비중은 낮아지고 공극률이 증가하여 물리성 개선에 도움을 주었으나, 1, 2, 3차 연도를 비교해 보았을 때 큰 차이는 없었다. 고추의 생육과 수량에 있어서도 음식물 퇴비 시용량이 증가할수록 초기 생육이 저조하였으며, 그로 인해 수량이 감소하였다. 또한 3년 연용으로 인한 음식물 퇴비의 축적으로 수량의 감소와 품질 저하를 초래하였다. 음식물 퇴비의 연용에서 2ton/10a 이상의 시용은 수량의 감소를 초래하였다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 음식물 퇴비를 2ton/10a 이하로 사용하면 큰 무리는 없겠지만 장기 연용은 삼가는 것이 좋을 것이라 판단된다. 따라서 음식물 퇴비를 다른 일반 퇴비 제조의 중간 원료나, 또는 혼합 사용하는 시험을 계속 진행 중에 있다.

As the largest source of food waste is housing, and the food waste properties are good enough to recycle, the proactive approach to conventional food waste disposal is highly regarded. This research is to examine food waste management in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA) and non-SMA and to analyze the public inclination to disseminate zero-food waste system (ZFWS) with fermentation and extinction technology in multifamily housing estates. The self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted and the collected data were statistically analyzed. The main findings are summarized as follows: food waste in multifamily housing estates were retrieved by refuse truck and largely recycled for compost and forage. Also, many local governments were in favor of ZFWS, and unwilling to invest in it due to financial constraint. It's found that logistics of ZFWS is likely to be influenced by important features such as a considerable amount of cost saving, effective energy recovery, and efficient operation/management.

To suggest the separate collection system of garbage in household, people's disposition was evaluated. It was indicated that garbage be collected daily to minimize the odor which was major nuisance from garbage. However, most people wanted to discharge garbage in two or three days interval, as they did not prefer frequent handling. So, proper size of garbage container was determined as two to three days capacity. In contrast with it, it was major opinion that dicharged garbage should be collected everyday by local government to eliminate the outdoor pollution. Plastic bag was the most popular container, as it could be used instantly. Price of the bag affected on the efficiency of reduction and separate collection of garbage. Low price increased the separate collection and decreased the reduction, while high price introduced the opposite result. So, the dual price system was suggested to enhance both objectives.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effective pretreatment of foodwaste for the anaerobic digestion. Considering the foodwaste generation and the anaerobic digester for municipal wastewater sludges, the some pretreatment processes were performed such as the grinding of foodwastes with the addition of water, the mixing with sludges, and the hydrolysis with the addition of NaOH. The results were as followings ; 1. As the stage of feasibility test in laboratory scale, the foodwaste grinding using a household garbage disposer was performed with three different water mixing ratios of 1:1, 1:5 and 1:9 as weight base. The physicochemical characteristics of grinded foodwaste were analyzed and the effective conditions was recommended as the 1 :5mixing ratio of foodwaste and water and the below 8mm particle size. 2. And the mixing of foodwaste and municipal wastewater sludge was studied with three different mixing ratios of 1:9, 3:7 and 5:5 as weight base. The physicochemical characteristics of the mixed foodwaste and sludges were analyzed and the effective mixing ratio was recommended as 3:7 of foodwaste and sludge.

A food waste disposer commonly used in restaurants or homes is a type of machine with an agitator attached. The food waste disposer of the crushing type has a problem that the agitator may be broken if the piping or decomposition filter is blocked. In addition, there is an inconvenience that the user must manually open the cover to check the level in the food waste disposer. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a device that combines basic IoT technology with food waste disposer. The proposed device additionally designs and implement a real-time monitor processor and an automatic control processor inside the existing food waste disposer. The proposed food waste disposer allows the user to monitor the inside of the device using the smartphone. In addition, when the food is filled up to a certain position in the food waste disposer, it automatically stops and alarms. Using the proposed system, the user can conveniently check the inside of the food waste disposer, which has the advantage of preventing malfunctions in advance and reducing the probability of malfunction.
