摘要

In the crusade to create a circular economy, where what we make is given fresh life in a cycle of regeneration and restoration, tackling food waste is a key priority. The UK produces 10 million tonnes of it each year, with households responsible for three-quarters of that - and much is still being tipped into landfill to rot away beneath the surface. Last December, the government published its long-heralded resources and waste strategy for England, meant to kick-start recycling rates which, having risen from 11 per cent in 2001 to 43 per cent a decade later, have now plateaued. The aim is to ensure 'every householder and appropriate businesses have a weekly separate food-waste collection', Defra says. How is that going to be achieved? At present, many local councils pick up green waste once a fortnight, with garden refuse, like fallen leaves and grass cuttings, and food waste - such as uneaten meals scraped off plates and out-of-date fruit and veg - collected together in the same bin. The combined waste is taken to recycling centres for conversion into compost. But a growing number of authorities are looking at the benefits of separating food from other green waste. Food waste, treated separately, can be transformed not only into fertiliser, but also into biogas that can be used as fuel. Spearheading this transformation are companies like Biogen, which operates more than a dozen anaerobic digestion plants nationwide. The food breaks down into sludge, carbon dioxide and methane.
