Asia Symposium
The Asia-Pacific Symposium on Energy Utilization of Municipal Solid Waste for a Sustainable Development of City (hereinafter referred to as the Symposium) had been held between November 13th and 16th, 2019, in Hangzhou, China. The Symposium was supported by Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’s Republic of China and China Science and Technology Exchange Center, which was organized by Zhejiang university and Zhejiang University of technology.The Symposium aims at strengthening the communication of technical experts, industry personnel and government officials in the field of Waste to Energy (WtE) among the AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) economies and "One Belt One Road" countries. Development and application of advanced WtE technologies is an effective solution towards the serious problem of "garbage siege". With the help of China's 30-year experience in management of municipal solid waste, the Symposium is expected to promote the market application of WtE technologies among the APEC economies and "One Belt One Road" countries, ensuring a sustainable development of city and economy.
There were 20 speeches by speakers from 15 different countries, mainly two individual sessions were set for discussion and communication: (1) advanced technologies and practices of WtE, and (2) development of municipal solid waste management and energy utilization market in Asia-Pacific economies. The following is a detailed introduction to the relevant reports：

Ecoefficient progress to value food waste
1. Food losses and waste in the world
2. To transform food waste into food for pigs safe, stable, nutritiously balanced and low price, it is necessary:
1) That the food waste restaurants are collected before reaching the landfill
2) Classify and select food waste according to their proximal composition, looking for high protein and low moisture content, the classification of processed food waste (PFW) and cereal waste(CeW) are suitable for collecting and with them to perform the primary formulation(FP).
3) Unprocessed vegetable waste is not included due to its low protein content and high moisture content, however, there is a tendency to increase the vegetable content in pig feeding due to its high availability, fiber input and phytochemicals of nutraceutical value
4) The formulation of selected food residues contains the appropriate contents and proportions of essential amino acids, combined with grains such as corn and sorghum
5) Input savings in the agricultural sector
