The Food Waste Recycling Process
Once your food waste is collected by Nottinghamshire Waste, it undergoes a comprehensive recycling process to ensure it is repurposed into valuable resources:
- Collection: Our team collects your food waste using the provided bins, ensuring timely and efficient service according to your schedule.
- Transportation: The collected food waste is transported safely to our recycling facility, minimising the risk of contamination and ensuring compliance with health regulations.
- Processing: At our facility, the food waste is processed using anaerobic digestion or composting methods:
- Anaerobic Digestion: The food waste is broken down by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen, producing biogas and digestate. The biogas can be used to generate electricity and heat, while the digestate is a nutrient-rich fertiliser.
- Composting: The food waste is decomposed aerobically to create compost, which can be used to enrich soil in agricultural and landscaping applications.
- Repurposing: The end products of food waste recycling, such as biogas and compost, are utilised in various applications, supporting a circular economy and reducing the need for chemical fertilisers and fossil fuels.
