How Biogas Development Fits into the Waste Management Hierarchy
Biogas development transforms organic waste into renewable energy, fitting into the waste management hierarchy by reducing landfill use and cutting emissions. With only 20% of U.S. biogas potential tapped, these systems offer eco-friendly solutions that produce energy and nutrient-rich digestate, fostering sustainability…
Digestate Composition Contaminants and Uses
Composition, Contaminants, and Applications of Digestate Anaerobic digestion has emerged as a pivotal process in waste management and renewable energy production. One of its primary by-products, digestate, serves as a valuable fertilizer and soil conditioner. Understanding the composition, potential contaminants, and beneficial uses of digestate is essential for maximizing its advantages while mitigating any risks […]
The Role of Bulk Buying in Reducing Food and Packaging Waste
How to Cut Down on Food and Packaging Waste by Buying in Bulk Food waste and excessive packaging contribute to environmental harm and economic inefficiencies. Bulk buying has emerged as a powerful strategy as consumers and businesses look for ways to minimize their impact. Individuals and organizations can reduce waste, save money, and make more […]
Food Waste Disposals Lower Than Thought
Wikipedia Referenced Article in “Food Waste in the United Kingdom”.ﾠArticle Originally Published 10 February 2009.ﾠ The amount of food waste being disposed of is lower than originally thought, according to the Waste and Resource Action Programme (WRAP). The organisation’s Chris Mills explained that less food waste is being generated than was expected, in a report […]
Food Waste Energy: Exploring The Conversion Of Food Waste Into Energy Through Anaerobic Digestion
Exploring The Conversion Of Food Waste Into Energy Through Anaerobic Digestion Every year, heaps of food waste fill our bins and ultimately, our landfills. Anaerobic digestion is a clever method that transforms this waste into energy. This blog will guide you through how converting leftover food can light up homes and fuel cars. Get ready to be inspired! What is Anaerobic Digestion and How […]
Anaerobic Digestion of Food Waste is Number One!
The anaerobic digestion of food waste is an important application for AD technology. It is the number one preferred method for treating and disposing of food waste according to the Waste Hierarchy, above composting, and certainly a long way better than sending it to landfills. Many EU nations are placing legal requirements on local authorities to […]
Anaerobic Digestion of Biomass – Make Money from Biowaste!
Anaerobic digestion of biomass can be of real benefit to many companies that prepare food products of all types, but these companies often don’t appreciate the biomass asset that lurks unseen in the high organic content of their food processing waste. “Food processing companies large kitchen etc., may be missing out on the value of […]
For UK Energy and Food Security Biogas is a 3 Times No-Brainer
The ADBA conference next week in central London will focus on why (in our own words), for UK energy and food security, biogas from the anaerobic digestion process is a 3 times no-brainer! Why is that? UK energy and food security would benefit from three outputs from the anaerobic digestion process namely: biogas a biofertiliser […]
Recycling Fish Morts Using Anaerobic Digestion
There’s a reason why recycling fish morts is valued as a digester feedstock amongst biogas plant operators. First, the fish mort pulp, comprising the dead young fish removed from aquaculture (mostly salmon) farms is rapidly digested. Second, mort recycling is also healthier and greener for the environment, than alternative disposal methods. There are many sources […]
Food Waste in America – The Wasteful Facts of Unused US Meals
The food waste in America is huge. The facts show that this is both a major problem for the environment and at the same time reducing it could be a great asset. In the USA, the population wastes so much food that correspondingly large quantities of renewable sustainable, 24/7 energy could be created from the […]
List of Food Waste Depackaging and Separation Equipment Suppliers
The following is a list of “Food Waste Depackaging and Separation Equipment Suppliers”. The list is based upon our online search for, as far as possible, a complete list of global manufacturers/ suppliers of depackaging and separation machinery designed to treat mixed biowaste waste streams for the purpose of reuse and recycling in the anaerobic […]
Food Waste Separators with Less Destructive Depackaging & Pulping Pre-treat SSOHW Better
Prior to anaerobic digestion, new food waste separators with advanced depackaging and pulping technology, when used to pre-treat Source-Separated Organic Household Waste (SSOHW), improve the purity of the organic pulp. Reject output streams were also purer than for earlier systems based on milling and shredding. That’s according to research by the Department of Environmental Engineering, […]
