I would guess zero, as vegetable waste will not accumulate it will compost down/degenerate.

Not correct.

At A given moment (like electric Power HP Vs KWHr Problems)

You always have

1) Vegetable on Field/Stores - not yet waste

2) vegetable on fridge (may or may not based on your power supply condition, Fridge setting, Number of days kept, the ambience- eg other rotting vegetables sideby - etc)

3) Vegetable on Kitchen table- Some waste - especially after cutting if you find some wiggly things

4) Vegetables cooked on dining table (and from there partially into garbage can)

5) garbage can - compost heap

6) Getting composted -

6a) Already turned to compost - not vegetable any more

6b) half composted - depending on you what you want to call it.

6c) Just turned in - still pure vegetable waste.

So after adding the quantities by their % contribution and integrating the (6) I get exactly 12873.529 (rounded to third decimal)

PS: Sorry while feeding the data forgot to put the unit. And now I don't remember what was the unit. Can not again search and run the program again.

This is the instantaneous vegetable waste available and the level of confidence is 92% as checked by test of Hypothesis.

To have this converted to annual is a bit complex since a portion of it gets down the soil and a new bit overrides it.

Ah...my pedantic evil twin says that the volumes given by you are instantaneous or transient.. NOT accumulated.

Pleeeeaaaaase read till the end (or rather read the end)

This is the instantaneous vegetable waste available and the level of confidence is 92% as checked by test of Hypothesis.

To have this converted to annual is a bit complex since a portion of it gets down the soil and a new bit overrides it.

And that means a complex integral, with half life period of different mixes (cooked, semicooked, raw, peelings, ....)
