Abstract
Abstract

Background – Compared to its neighbours in Southeast Asia, Brunei lags in terms of sustainable waste management procedures. Landfills receive 36% of the wasted food. Converting food waste into pet food would be a good substitute for treating it as waste and instead as a valuable resource.
Purpose – The paper proposes a sustainable pet food line that uses and recycles food waste, particularly Category 3 ABPs, to reduce reliance on traditional meat products. This approach could mitigate environmental problems and create a nutritionally balanced pet food option. This initiative aims to address food waste management and pet nutrition sustainability, aligning with global sustainability goals and potentially revolutionising the pet food industry.
Design/methodology/approach – The study consists of a qualitative and experimental approach. The study conducted library research on the valorisation of food waste into pet food. For the experimental approach, the first stage was collecting the waste from an identified local supermarket and then processing it into pet food. The second stage of the experiment was conducting a food test on pet food.
Findings – Numerous research studies advise transforming food waste into pet or animal feed, as the study's findings demonstrate. Additionally, the lab test demonstrates that pet food contains proteins and fats that benefit pets.
Research limitations – The study only examines the conversion of food waste into pet food and did a simple food test, but risk assessment is just as crucial. Therefore, coordinated research is required to fully utilise such wastes for animal feed.
Originality/value – The paper’s sustainable waste management goal aligns with Brunei Vision Goal 2: High Quality of Life, SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, and SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. Pet food, which uses food waste as a key ingredient, promotes a circular economy and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. This inexpensive option lessens both pet owners' and landfill strain.
