Food Loss Food Waste

FLFW was founded in 2020 to tackle food waste issue with BSF, starting with communities on islands. FLFW partnered with local authorities and community members on Koh Samui and set up the first community compost facility. In 2022, FLFW received additional funding to build a second facility on Koh Si Chang. The facility on both islands are currently operated by the local communities and FLFW helps support further in the sale of by-products.

To effectively manage food and organic wastes and minimize the impact on environment associated with such wastes

Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities

11.6 By 2030, reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including by paying special attention to air quality and municipal and other waste management

To provide a more sustainable source of protein and nutrition for the animal feed and agricultural industries

Goal 2: Zero Hunger

2.4 By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality


Environment (landfills and waste disposal sites)
There are over 120 waste disposal sites in Thailand currently with a lot more illegal dumping sites. Many landfills are faced with overloaded capacities and building more landfills does not help tackle the waste problem sustainably.
FLFW secure food wastes from sources and convert them into animal feed and fertilizers, which prevents the wastes from reaching landfills	Reduce pressure on landfills and help extend the lifetime of landfills Amount of food or organic wastes processed FLFW secure food wastes from sources and convert them into animal feed and fertilizers, which prevents the wastes from reaching landfills	Reduced leaching which contaminates surrounding environment (soil and water) To effectively manage food and organic wastes and minimize the impact on environment associated with such wastes Reduce pressure on landfills and help extend the lifetime of landfills Reduced emission of greenhouse gases from the natural degradation of organic wastes To effectively manage food and organic wastes and minimize the impact on environment associated with such wastes Reduce pressure on landfills and help extend the lifetime of landfills

Municipal office and other business operators that manage wastes
Actors responsible for collecting wastes from households, offices and factories, etc. and transporting wastes to waste disposal sites. They usually charge a fee for the waste management service and have to pay fees to the waste disposal sites for dumping.

FLFW BSF processing facility serves as an alternative waste disposal site	Save costs in paying landfills FLFW BSF processing facility serves as an alternative waste disposal site	Better waste management - less costly, cleaner, more sustainable i.e. less pressure in looking for new landfills To effectively manage food and organic wastes and minimize the impact on environment associated with such wastes Save costs in paying landfills

Animal feed (aqua, poultry, cattle, pet food) industry
Animal feed industry requires high protein feed which currently mainly comes from soy protein, fishmeal and fish oil, production of which upsets ecosystem balance and is unsustainable in the long run.

FLFW provides alternative protein source from by-products of BSF	Reduced cost in production of animal feed FLFW provides alternative protein source from by-products of BSF	Create a more sustainable food production system that doesn't affect biodiversity and harm the environment To provide a more sustainable source of protein and nutrition for the animal feed and agricultural industries Reduced cost in production of animal feed
