There are further implications of food waste worldwide that are more extensive than physical waste being transferred to landfill sites. For general waste that is dispensed in waste and public bins, there are issues caused by vermin, insects and bacteria which can cause disease. Flies for example that are attracted to your home can drop their offspring, carrying salmonella. Food waste causes air pollution whilst also causing respiratory diseases. Direct inhaling of contaminants can cause adverse health effects. Carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane are by-products of organic waste which may also be inhaled. These greenhouse gasses are also harmful to the environment and are a contributor to global warming. The direct handling of waste by waste disposal workers can also expose workers to infections and disease. Individuals who are having to dispose or deal with overflowing waste are also at risk from animals feeding on the waste to intestinal infections caused by flies. Liquid waste can negatively change the chemical composition of the water. This is technically called water pollution and this affects all ecosystems.

After ten years of research and development, SET has created a food waste composting technology that is efficient, compact, easy to operate and size sufficient.
