Sažetak
Waste food disposal is a problem whose solution should be implemented according to the principles of waste hierarchy and circular economy. This is easily biodegradable waste that has an adverse impact on the environment and is an important biological resource that can be used to stimulate circular economy. Due to easy degradability, the management is challenging and complex. There are more solutions with different impacts on the basic dimensions of sustainability. One solution used globally is letting out kitchen food waste into the sewerage. The objective is to reduce harmful discharges into urban and natural environments and to strengthen the sustainability of food waste management and sewerage systems. The solution has to be sustainable according to local natural and socio-economic characteristics. Sustainability can be assessed in more manners, depending on data availability and problem processing level. The paper presents the sustainability index implementation on the example of Rab Island. The obtained sustainability index confirms that the proposed concept marks a satisfactory progress towards sustainability.
