Food waste is a moral issue faced by many countries including Malaysia.

Malaysians are
reported to have wasted 15,000 metric tons of food a day, including 3,000 tons that can still
be enjoyed and should not be thrown away. It is also caused by the existence of food waste
that reaches approximately 16,500 tons per day in Malaysia, as well as food that is still good
to throw away. Food waste comes from the disposal of large amounts of food waste through
traders, as well as individuals themselves. Food waste is too common in Malaysia because
of cooked dishes, food sales in markets and restaurants.

When food is discarded it goes to the landfills, there it rots to produce Methane- a
Greenhouse gas that is 28times much potent than Carbon dioxide. If we divert food waste
from landfills to an innovative food waste treatment system then we can stop almost 11% of
Greenhouse gas emissions. The content of methane gas that is too high in the air can be
fatal to the public, methane gas affects anyone regardless of age, the early symptoms that
can be identified if someone inhales the gas are shortness of breath and vomiting. This gas
is difficult to detect since it is odorless. When a person experiences shortness of breath or
vomiting, this means that the oxygen content taken by them is greatly reduced or there is air
pollution.
