EXECUTIVE SUMMARY DRAFT #1

This report was written in response to call for engineering problem-solution proposals. It focuses on the waste recycling technologies that are currently out in the market to combat the generation of food waste and discusses its capabilities against one another. The complication would be the difficulty to handle a overproduction of by-products and the productive use of them. This may result in squandering of by-products which reduces the tendency to use these machines which defeats the purpose of improving the recyclability of food waste. The objective of this report is to propose to the planning committee of SIT Punggol a more sophisticated system that improves and combines the technologies that are offered in the market currently. The team proposes a solution that allows the waste recycling machine to effectively produce the amount of by-products based on the input of the user. This will effectively provide the sufficient volume of fertilisers and reusable water so as to reduce the potential squander of useful products.
