Rice straw, also known as paddy straw, presents a significant challenge due to the large amounts left after rice harvesting, which can occur 2-4 times a year. This results in an abundance of rice straw that needs to be managed, as otherwise it is just burned in the fields.  While loose straw can be difficult to transport, converting it into briquettes offers a practical solution. Briquettes are easy to handle and simplify logistics, making them a convenient and efficient option for managing rice straws. https://lnkd.in/dyJZNrab

In a nutshell 🐿️ NO!!! Composting is a biological process that takes at least 14 days for the friendly bacteria and ingredients 🐛 to work their magic 🪄 We often see machines which pertain to be a composter but are in fact food dryers ♨️ which simply dry the food 🥬🌶️ by removing the excess moisture creating a dry, biomass material which is not compost and remains classified as waste. Compost is a living thing full of vitamins, natural proteins and enzymes and this requires time to develop into a usable resource ⏱️ Find out how composting is part of your food waste solution!

Did you know that biofuels, like the briquettes made by Alhaji Siraj Bah, not only help reduce deforestation but also improve air quality? According to WHO studies, burning firewood and charcoal indoors is one of the leading causes of respiratory diseases, especially affecting women and children in low-income regions. Additionally, each ton of briquettes replaces around 88 trees that would have been cut down for charcoal production. Another interesting advantage is that these briquettes release less soot and carbon monoxide during combustion, providing a healthier cooking option. This solution not only preserves nature but also boosts the local economy by creating jobs in the collection and processing of organic waste. #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #EcoInnovation #ZeroDeforestation #SierraLeone

Our subsidiary ReFood UK’s anaerobic digestion (AD) operations break down food waste in the absence of oxygen. The resulting methane released is captured and used to generate renewable energy, while the resulting digestate is repurposed as a sustainable bio-fertiliser – known as ReGrow. An alternative to chemical fertilisers, ReGrow is used by local farmers to aid crop growth. It’s rich in major plant nutrients (including nitrogen) and meets the requirements of the BSI PAS 110 for its high levels of consistency, quality and safety. Using today’s recycled food to grow tomorrow’s crops, ReFood effectively closes the food supply loop – delivering results and giving something back to the planet.

Here, plenty of dung required simple solution!

BMSMNReadings 📰 80% of #fertilizers spread are not absorbed by #plants and pollute the air and water. We would like to share with you an interesting article about the poor absorption of #nitrogen fertilizers and the way most of this applied nitrogen goes into the #environment, contaminating it. Read more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dXCKUbpb 🌱🌎 All the energy used to produce these N-fertilizers is consumed in vain and produces #greenhousegases and that's why at BMS Micro-Nutrients NV we believe in efficient #foliarnutrition for more a environmental #fertilization (with much lower amounts of N-fertilizer) thanks to #ECOMETHOD. In other words, using the BMS Micro-Nutrients NV foliar fertiliser programmes allows you to reduce the amount of fertiliser applied to the #soil. This significantly reduces the #CO2 footprint of fertilisation, while maintaining the productivity and quality of your harvest ♻️🔝 The immediate effect of #ECOMETHOD on the environment? Reduced emissions of greenhouse gases, which, after all, are responsible for #globalwarming ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Wet waste or the so-called Organic waste can easily be converted into compost and added back into the soil. However , the vegetable waste or food waste contains cellulose and other compounds that can be broken down under anaerobic conditions in the presence of heat . The products of the process are moisture, methane , carbon dioxide , Hydrogen sulphide and undigested liquid commonly called slurry (The super fertilizer) . The most important ingredient for this process is the bacteria required to breakdown the waste . Cow Dung is very rich in this bacteria. A cow dung slurry is a beautiful medium for this anaerobic process. The resultant gas can be scrubbed of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide and used as cooking gas . The process is done in a simple FRP drum with a floating dome to trap the gas. A pressure block is used to pressurise the gas . In theory , LPG is not required if we have enough supply of vegetable waste or cow dung . Here is a recent installation of a small scale bio gas plant . In my opinion, we need simple solutions to address #sustainability. Solutions must be promoted and popularized instead of making sustainability an elitist affair. #climatechange #climateaction #circulareconomy #climatesolution .
