Abstract
Public concern about the environment has necessitated looking into new and more effective ways of disposing food packaging waste. A method for thermal processing of food packaging waste using microwaves was developed. Microwave heating has unique advantages such as a rapid heating rate, uniform heating, and space and energy savings. An experiment conducted is detailed here in which the behavior of the heating rate at different densities and moisture contents of the packaging waste using the said method was investigated.
