What Are Pre-Consumed / Expired Food Wastes?
Pre-consumed food waste refers to food discarded before it reaches consumers — typically during manufacturing, packaging, or distribution.
Common examples include:
- Expired packaged foods past their shelf life
- Off-spec or damaged goods rejected during quality control
- Surplus stocks from importers or cold storage facilities
- Trial batches or product recalls

Our Food Recycling Process
At Gee Hoe Seng, we manage the first and most essential stages of Singapore’s food waste recycling chain — collection and sorting. We ensure food waste is safely recovered, separated, and prepared for downstream partners who process it through composting, anaerobic digestion, or black soldier fly (BSF) treatment.
Together, this five-step process converts discarded food waste into valuable resources that support circular economy goals.
1. Food Waste Collection
Food waste is collected from factories and food manufacturers using our own fleet of vehicles. Our in-house team ensures timely, and compliant collection for all clients.
2. Sorting & Pre-Treatment
Collected waste is sorted to remove contaminants such as packaging, plastics, or non-organic items. Clean organic waste is separated for downstream recycling, ensuring the highest recovery.
3. Composting Process
Organic materials like fruit and vegetable waste are biologically decomposed into nutrient-rich compost, ideal for landscaping, farming, and soil restoration.
4. Anaerobic Digestion
Food waste with high moisture or energy content undergoes anaerobic digestion, where microorganisms break it down in oxygen-free tanks. This process produces biogas and digestate.
5. Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Treatment
Certain food waste streams, such as grains and plant residues, are used to cultivate black soldier fly larvae closing the loop in sustainable waste management.
