| description | Due to changing lifestyles and population expansion, food waste is currently on the rise. A large amount of food waste can lead to a number of issues, including those that impact the environment and public health and are caused by ineffective food waste management. The objective of this study was to determine physical and chemical properties of manual composting and composting machine. Two methods for composting to manage the food waste produced such as manual composting bin and composting machine were conducted. Firstly, temperature results obtained for manual composting is 33°C while composting machine is 56°C. However, nitrogen results obtained for manual composting and composting machine are 1.4 % and 2.1 % while phosphorus result obtained for manual composting and composting machine are 4.5 mg/L and 4.23 mg/L. After that, for potassium results obtained for manual composting and composting machine are 3.02 mg/L and 2.2 mg/L. Lastly, the best method to manage food waste is manual composting based on data analysis, manual composting achieved the most optimal range for all parameters and making the best compost in this research compare to composting machine. Food waste generation rate for 8 cafeteria per week is 0.079 kg/capita/week and 28.96 kg/capita/year for a year. |
