Food loss and waste generates around 8 percent of all human-caused emissions 😦 Good news is we can Shift that number by composting which is now mandatory in France. Organic waste accounts for almost one-third of household waste. When it is mixed with other rubbish, it typically ends up in landfills or incinerators, where it produces CO2. If we compost it instead, it can be turned into biogas or compost to replace chemical fertilisers. In 2018, only 34 percent of the EU’s total bio-waste was collected.

Why is it important to properly dispose of waste tyres? Waste tyres pose a threat to air quality, land, soil, water, plants and animals if they are not managed properly. The EPA’s latest data release shows that a total of 62,931 tonnes of waste tyres were collected and treated in Ireland in 2022 – a 43% increase from the previous reporting year in 2020. A large majority of these waste tyres (93%) were exported for final treatment abroad in 2022. This represents an increase from 81% in 2020, indicating an increased reliance on export for treatment of waste tyres in Ireland. The most common final treatment operation was converting waste to energy (energy recovery) (61%), followed by recycling (35%). Take a look at the diagram to see the treatment routes which waste tyres followed once collected in 2022.

Our Warrens Emerald Biogas site works in collaboration with Warrens Group, our transport division, to produce biomethane that powers local homes and businesses, while fuelling our expanding CNG fleet. 🚛💨 As the first bespoke anaerobic digestion plant in North-East England, Warrens Emerald plays a crucial role in reducing landfill emissions and promoting sustainability. ♻️🌍 ⚠️ The new recycling laws in England, called "Simpler Recycling," will take effect on March 31, 2025. These laws will require businesses to separate food waste. 🍽️🚮 Unsure about the future of your food waste? Let us guide you in meeting the new regulations and achieving your sustainability targets. 🎯✅ 📧 Reach out to our Commercial Team today to discuss how we can support your food waste management needs: foodwaste@bio-capital.co.uk. #FoodWasteRecycling #SimplerRecycling #Sustainability #WasteManagement #CircularEconomy #RenewableEnergy #NetZero #AnaerobicDigestion #GreenEnergy #WasteToEnergy #BusinessSustainability #EnvironmentalImpact

What really needs to be considered is Complete Utilization of Waste with Zero-Residue Waste Conversion Plants.

In Europe, 8.5 million tons per year of used Absorbent Hygiene Products (AHP), such as sanitary towels and diapers, end up in landfills or being incinerated. BIC member Novamont is part of the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) EMBRACED project turning AHP waste into valuable, bio-based feedstock? ♻️ Results suggest CO2 savings of 270-443 kg per ton of AHP waste recycled vs. the landfill / incineration scenario.

Used cooking oil is a valuable resource often overlooked in our kitchens. When properly recycled, it can be transformed into biodiesel, a renewable fuel that reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 86% compared to petroleum diesel. The process involves filtering the oil to remove food particles, then subjecting it to transesterification – a chemical reaction that converts the oil into biodiesel and glycerin. Beyond biodiesel, recycled cooking oil finds applications in the production of soap, animal feed, and even as a feedstock for certain industrial processes. By diverting this waste from our sewers and landfills, we not only prevent water pollution and reduce waste management costs but also contribute to a circular economy. Stay tuned for our next post, where we'll reveal how we incorporate used cooking oil into our Zero Waste School Program. #educationforsustainability #ZeroWasteSchool #usedcookingoil #circulareconomy #sekolahnolsampah

#4 Food waste can be recycled into vehicle fuel. Food waste fed through an anaerobic digester can be turned into biogas. The biogas can be converted into biomethane that meets the quality standards for vehicle fuels. In the UK, biomethane fuel stations supply a significant portion of vehicles, and by 2025, biomethane could fuel approximately 10% of the UK’s high-mileage heavy goods vehicles (HGV) fleet. https://lnkd.in/e75ek5vb #recycling #sustainability #circulareconomy #ecofriendly #environment

Shiza Aslam, MSc is not only a lovely person - you'll know if you've ever met her - but she is also someone with a vast knowledge of waste management in developing countries, environmental policy and inclusive waste management (and much more, but hey, let's keep it short and simple). So happy she contributed to Waste Management World - WMW! Read her article on the role of waste pickers in dealing with the deluge of waste we are generating.

Food waste disposal. Waste to treasure, apart from making compost, food waste can generate cleaner energy, or biomass energy. This can be done through anaerobic digestion which involves microorganisms breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. This is a sustainable method rather than food waste being disposed at landfill. It is an advantage to the environment. It's a win way of food waste management. Advocating for proper food waste management and eco-friendly ways of taking care of the environment. #wastemanagement #wastetoenergy #wastetowealth #wastetovalue #sustainability #circulareconomy
