Abstract

The food waste is a serious problem globally. The management of the food waste requires solution on urgent basis. The use of chemicals is costly, time-consuming and causes pollution. The study here involves degradation of food waste viz., hotel, kitchen and hostel areas using Bacillus, Alcaligenes and Streptomyces sp. and consortium of these microorganisms. The reduction in weight and volume was calculated for the degradation of food waste. There was about 45% reduction in the weight and volume of the food waste without any foul smell. The use of microorganisms for the degradation of food waste is simple, cheap and eco-friendly.
