socio-economic growth of the Philippines;
2. Define agro-industries in terms of raw materials and types of
products;
3. Discuss the different nature of waste generation from agro-industrial
processes;
4. Establish importance of waste management to sustainable
development of agro-industries; and
5. Enumerate the current trend of activities in agro-industrial waste
management.

IMPORTANCE OF AGRO-INDUSTRIES
▪ 40.26% of GDP share from
industrial sector (33.4% of national
GDP)
▪ +1.9% national annual population
growth; 142 million population by
year 2045
▪ Significant global impact on socio-
economic development and
poverty reduction in both urban
and rural communities (UNFAO,
1999)
1.2

AGRO-INDUSTRIES DEFINED
▪ Agricultural manufacturing
▪ Cover all post-harvest operations till
the material reaches the desired
form, packaging, quantity, quality,
and price
▪ Fusion of industrial technology and
agricultural production
▪ Large scale
1.2

OVERVIEW OF AGRO-INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES

– the use of machines, tools, and labor to produce


goods for use or sale
– raw materials (agricultural products) are processed
into systems to transform them into finished goods

FOOD PROCESSING
▪ the conversion of raw food ingredients into marketable food
products using physical, chemical, and biological means, in
order to render convenience to consumers through easily
prepared and served food product options.

1.2

FOOD PROCESSING
▪ Pre-processing
consists of preparatory
operations, e.g. sorting,
cleaning, and size reduction in
order to meet the working
conditions of processing.
1.2

FOOD PROCESSING
▪ Pre-processing: Size reduction
➢ involves various mechanical
operations to decrease the bulk
volume of the ingredients for
better handling in succeeding
food processes that require a
desire size range for operation,
or surface area to increase the
effectiveness of processing
➢ material reduced vary in sizes
between coarse, intermediate,
and fine

such that of taste, nutritive
value, etc.

NATURE OF WASTE GENERATION


▪ waste, by definition, means any material that is discarded
from an activity
▪ knowledge of process in order to identify all the potential
wastes and the nature by which they are generated
1.3

NATURE OF WASTE GENERATION


▪ Discarded materials
➢ Most common source of wastes in
industrial processes
➢ Components that are unnecessary
and may render low quality products
➢ Generated from:
(a) residues from pretreatment
(b) impurities from refining
1.3

NATURE OF WASTE GENERATION


▪ By-products
➢ not all raw materials are
completely converted into the
product’s ideal form
➢ low efficiency = low product yield
➢ competing reactions
1.3

NATURE OF WASTE GENERATION


▪ Excess processing materials
➢ ensure completion of
processes to maximize the
yield of desired product
➢ consist of spent materials that
still contain residual amounts
of acting agents
1.3

EFFECTS OF INDUSTRIALIZATION

Positive Negative
✓ Development for the ✓ Depletion of natural
good of the great resources
population ✓ Vast quantities of waste
✓ Needs of the people are ✓ Contamination of people
met at large and ecosystems with the
✓ Economic growth dispersion of toxic
✓ Opens opportunities for substances
globalization ✓ Cradle-to-grave model of
development
1.3

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
▪ Cradle-to-cradle model
▪ According to Dr. Karl-Henrik Robert (1989)
sustainable development can be attained by
preventing the ff.:

✓ Exhaustion of substances from the Earth’s crust


✓ Accumulation of human-made compounds
✓ Utilization of resources at rates faster than their
regeneration
1.3

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
▪ Cradle-to-cradle model
▪ According to Dr. Karl-Henrik Robert (1989) sustainable
development can be attained by preventing the ff.:

✓ Accumulation of human-made compounds


➢ persistent and unnatural compounds
➢ not completely and easily degraded in nature
➢ waste materials when discarded from use
