  1. Food Waste C2C Vision Recycle organic nutrients to soil Generate Methane Gas for Energy Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduce Nutrients to Surface Water Palo Alto, CA June 2005

  2. TASK 1 • Determine environmental advantages of composting versus anaerobic digestion of food waste - Mathew Toavs, Whole Foods • Operating hypothesis: distance to composting or digesting operations will be a major factor as will be BTU and Nutrient Value of food waste

  3. TASK 2 • Determine more detailed operational and economic analysis of anaerobic digestion of food waste • Food waste alone – New Jersey Pilot Project; Matthew Toavs • Food waste with sewage slude – EPA region 9 case studies; Dave Jones EPA • Food waste with dairy waste EPA region 9 cases studies with Inland Empire Utility agency; Dave Jones EPA • Review and synthesis of technical and financial assistance resources; EPA and Winrock International

  4. TASK 3 • Location, Location, Location • Develop base GIS map of California with relevant layers based on existing land use land cover map; Bill Howley Winrock International • Detail major food waste generation sources and facilities (IWMB, Community Recycling as partners?) • Add a layer with cities or districts doing food waste collection • Add a layer with Whole Foods facilities in California • Add municipal sewage treatment plants with anaerobic digestors (State Water Resources Control Board as partner?) • Which digestors have excess capacity? • Find where digested biosolids sludge is currently going • Add locations of major dairy operations and dairy manure digestors; EPA Region 9

  5. TASK 4 • Determine best locations and applications for food waste C2C • Develop selection criteria • Apply criteria in sensitivity analysis to determine best partnership opportunities • Gap analysis for other high potential opportunities • Convene experts and practitioners for next steps

  6. Working Group David Jones, EPA Matthew Toavs, Whole Foods Market Bill Howley, Winrock International Kreigh Hampel, Burbank Recycling Tal Ilany, Carnegie Mellon University Niklas Terczak, Independant
