Food waste is a major global issue, with 1.3 billion tonnes wasted annually according to the UN FAO. In India, a lack of cold storage and inefficient supply chains mean 20% of food production is wasted despite many going hungry. The document proposes using fruit and vegetable waste from juice shops in BHU, which generate over 50 quintals daily, to make products like candles, ice cream, soap and organic fertilizer. It outlines the equipment needed and government subsidies available for setting up such waste processing units.

2. Food wastage is fast assuming serious dimensions.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation
(FAO), a staggering 1.3 billion tonnes of food is being
wasted annually. The FAO report further states that one-
third of the total global food production is wasted, costing
the world economy about $750 billion or Rs47 lakh crore.
This alarming increase in food wastage is generating
nearly 3.3 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions,
thereby severely impacting the environment.

4.  Food wastage is an issue that has a global scale. According
to a report by the National Resources Defence Council
(NRDC), 40 per cent of the food goes uneaten in the US,
whereas in Asia, India and China cause a loss 1.3 billion
tonnes of food wastage every year. In terms of overall food
waste — agricultural produce, poultry and milk — India
ranks seventh, with the Russian Federation at the top of the
list

6.  A recent study conducted by Indian Institute of Management,
Kolkata, revealed that only 10 per cent of foods get cold
storage facility in India, this factor, accompanied by
inappropriate supply chain management, has resulted in India
becoming a significant contributor towards food wastage
both at pre and post harvest waste in cereals, pulses, fruits
and vegetables. India ranks 63 among 88 countries in Global
Hunger Index with 20 crore Indians sleeping hungry on any
given night, but in spite of this, nearly 21 million tonnes of
wheat are wasted in India each year instead of reaching the
needy.

8.  Besides this, nearly300 million barrels of oil used to
produce food is also ultimately wasted. Taking all of it
into consideration, the actual worth of money per year in
India from food wastage is estimated at a whopping
Rs58,000 crore.

9.  Government needs to primarily contain the excessive
wastage in transportation and improve storage facilities that
are currently 50 per cent less than required. Besides this,
the Government must also focus on food processing
technologies that are both advanced and affordable so that
food preservation practices can be encouraged thereby
saving food from wastage.

11.  India should also take a cue from global practices that are
both unorthodox and innovative in order to tackle food
wastage problem. For instance, France has passed
unanimous legislation requiring supermarkets to either give
unsold food to charity or send it to farmers for use as feed
and fertiliser.

12. Use of fruits and vegetable extracts
 juicing means extracting the fiber in the form of pulp from
the fruit and vegetable, and drinking just the juice. Of
course you get all these benefits from the juice, but then
there is the pulp (unless you buy a bottled juice!)
 Did you know the pulp is a great source of fiber and
nutrients. So what are you supposed to do with all the pulp
that your juicer leaves behind?

14. 3 Options on When to Use Your Pulp
 First, here is the best approach to using the pulp:
 Option #1: Use the pulp immediately after juicing so that it
is at its freshest state.
 Option #2: Put the pulp in a zip lock bag or a glass
container with a tight-lid and store in your fridge and use
within a few days.
 Option #3: Freeze your pulp for future use.

15. 1.Make a yummy guacamole with the pulp:
 I love guacamole and one time I read about a recipe that
involved green vegetable pulp mixed with avocado, fresh-
squeezed lemon or lime juice, salt and pepper to taste, and
completely mashed up. YUM!

16. 2. Use the pulp in your bakery:
 Add a little vegetable or fruit pulp, depending on the
flavor you want, to your cake, sweet bread, muffins, and
other baked goods
3. Boost your pancakes with the fruit pulp:
 Sprinkle a little fruit pulp, especially from the berries,
apples, and pineapple onto your pancake mix

17. 4. Add fruit or veggie pulp to your next healthy
smoothie:
 I prefer using the fruit pulp here but you may use the veggies
too. My favorites are the carrot and orange pulp.
5. Fortify your meat balls/burgers with veggie
pulp:
 Your burgers will never taste the same again. Use a mix of beet,
carrot, beetroots, jackfruit or other greens and bon appétit!

18. 6. Make the best soup stock with your veggie pulp:
 If you want soup stock with tons of flavor, veggie pulp is an
excellent as a base. Use pulp of tomatoes, onions, celery,
carrots, and garlic for best results.
7. Add veggie pulp to your dog or pet food:
 Use the vegetable pulp in your pet’s food, avoid fruits and also
be cautious about beet pulp. Start out with very small portion to
make sure your pet likes it

19. 8. Put the pulp to your compost:
 If you are in a big hurry or going out of town and not able
to use the pulp, always put it in your compost. Never put it
directly in your garbage.

20. 9. MAKING Of candles by fruit waste.
 Making of decorated and fashionable candles by fruit’s
waste. It gives beauty as well as fragrance too.

21. 10. Making of icecreams and sweets.
 Many of the fruit mix icecreams and sweets are made of
fruit pulp and its parts.
 One of the famous chinease dessert is made of fruit juice
residues (pulp/fruit skins)

22. 11.Making of fruit soaps,facewash & scrubbers.
 Many of the national and MNC’s are manufacturing
natural soaps made of fruits pulp and flowers.

23. Instead of these major things, fruit pulp molasis
and residues are use for making many of the
things like…
 Making of scrubbers for bath tub.
 Use on facial massage.
 Use for cracked ankles.
 Use as a moisturizer.
 Banana excerpt use as shoe shiner.

34. •And Many mores like- champa devi jaiuce corner near
Agro Café, Ramprakash juice corner near VT gate ,etc in
the BHU who put outs more then 50 kgs totally a day, but
they threw most of the extracts of the fruit.
*If we counts all the fruit waste of BHU it will be more
then 50 qtls a day.
*By this ratio we can assume that the whole city produces
hundred of tons fruit and vegetable waste a day.
*It means there is much possibilities to use all the wastes
as a new Business as well as the mankind with reducing
wastes (waste management) and a contribution for
CLEAN INDIA MISSION.

35.  Some facts-
 If we juice the fruit we reduces the 20-25% of nutritional value.
 Instead of nutritional value we retrenched the fibers which really
needed for human body.
 If we juice, the pulps coming out from the juicers 17-20% of juice
we can get from that only.
 The most important part of the fruit , for reuse, is their skin
(exocarps) which is mostly thrown away by the peoples.
 skin is one of the place where the fruit interacts with sunlight, and
forms a variety of colored pigments that absorb different
wavelengths of light
 These pigments, including carotenoids and flavonoids, are well
researched as nutrients that protect our health and nourishment.
 The skins of whole fruits like grapes have actually been studied for
their ability to help lower risk of cancer and help provide protection
from ultraviolet light.

36.  Govt. of india(NCOF) giving the subsidy for bio/organic
fertilizer’s unit which is 33%of total project cost subject to the
maximum of rs 60 lakh per unit.
 For Fruits and Vegetable Market Waste compost unit
i) Owner's contribution 25-33%
ii) Subsidy from Government of India subject to the maximum
ceiling 33%
iii) Bank Loan 34-42%
 Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has also giving the
support in monentry and traning types to remove unemployement
as well as waste from India.
