  By Sandeep P. Shewale, Mayurkumar P. Patil, Abhijit D. Patil, Pravin G. Suryawanshi, Dipti Y Sakhare

  Abstract: Food waste produced throughout the global food supply chain constitutes one of the most impactful forms of inefficiency within the current food production system, producing roughly 931 million tons per year and resulting in economic losses above $1 trillion worldwide each year. One aspect that has not been sufficiently studied systematically is how polymer composite materials, such as membrane separation systems, polymer-coated extraction equipment, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) biorefinery infrastructure, and …
