The cleaning compositions disclosed herein will provide low residue and increased shine and will provide long-lasting, persistent anti-fog properties to a substrate after cleaning. Also disclosed herein are methods of cleaning a substrate comprising applying the aqueous cleaning composition to the substrate and wiping, and the use of at least one surfactant, at least one modified acrylic polyamide, and dipropylene glycol butyl ether in an aqueous cleaning composition to provide shine, low residue, and persistent anti-fog properties to a substrate.

A process for fermenting and recycling food waste that is fully enclosed, eliminating noxious odors, and therefore installable in a wide variety of urban settings at scale. Generally the steps of the process include intake, shredding and grinding, inoculation and acceleration, heterolactic fermentation, separation of solids and liquids, drying and distillation, and post-processing of liquid and solid byproducts. The result of the process includes useful goods such as nutrient-rich soil fertilizer, household cleaning agent, energy in the form of current or hydrogen, and treated water. The process is energy efficient and self-contained, resulting in the processing of food waste within 7 days, thus dramatically reducing the time of traditional fermentation processes to produce desired byproducts.
