Prof Mohd Fadhil, who is also an environmental engineering expert, said although food waste was biodegradable, when sent to landfills, it produced large amounts of carbon dioxide that contributed to climate change. He called for more efficient separation of household waste so food and other types of rubbish could be better managed. Site supervisor Jarrald Leroy, 33, said he was taking conscious steps to minimise food waste after some of his recent purchases from the bazaar went to waste.
