Food waste has become a prevalent topic of sustainability, having caused high levels of economic and environmental damage. Food waste occurs when edible food is intentionally discarded by consumers after they fail to plan their meals properly and store food till it spoils or goes past the expiry date. The biogas digestion machine was widely used in other countries such as the United States, India and Israel, as part of their local sustainability programs the concept was hardly known nor utilized in Singapore. Hence, We provide a solution to the increasing amounts of food waste in Singapore, by building a low cost Biogas Digestion machine. This machine could be installed within households to recycle food waste into usable biogas that could be used for cooking.
