Description
Composting and recycling in commercial kitchens reduce waste disposal costs and environmental impact through decomposition of organic waste.
Technical
Composting involves a 3-stage process: collection, decomposition, and maturation, with ideal temperatures between 130°F to 140°F (54°C to 60°C) and optimal decomposition occurring between 50°C to 60°C. This process can reduce food waste by 50-70% and greenhouse gas emissions by up to 20%.
