About Us
Food Waste Hub is a collaboration of the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT), Pollution Control Department and Dow Thailand Group (Dow) together with Partnership networks among the government sector, private sector, and educational institutions that sees the importance of waste management utilizing Thai innovations. The partnership tackles the challenge of food waste which hinders the country’s recycling rate. As contamination by organic matter prevents effective recycling, the food waste itself can still be utilized for creating value, generating income, and creating jobs and investments.
The NRCT, Pollution Control Department, Dow and Partnership networks therefore developed the Platform: Food Waste Hub to transfer knowledge to the public through the concept of participatory food waste management, emphasizing on the actual implementations, both practical and commercial aspects. The platform utilizes research knowledge and pilot models from completed projects financially supported by the NRCT. In addition, the platform is open to questions, comments, suggestions from visitors and followers, facilitated by the Center for Environmental Research Development and Utilization of the NCRT
Objectives
- To be a platform for exchanging information on food waste utilization, in terms of value creation and commercial use.
- To expand the successful results of food waste management into actual practice, leading to the reduction of food waste entering the waste management system.
- To reduce mixture of food waste with other types of waste, leading to an increase in the waste reuse and recycling rates.
