UK Waste Strategy: Action Needed! CIWM's review shows that only 20% of the UK's Waste Strategy policies are fully implemented. This highlights a major gap in our progress towards sustainability goals. It's time to ramp up efforts and collaboration to ensure we're on track for a greener future. #Sustainability #WasteManagement #CircularEconomy #UKWasteStrategy #CIWM

Worried about waste? 🗑️ The #InternationalDayofZeroWaste aims to promote responsible consumption and production in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 12. In our blog we look at the #circulareconomy and why it's important ⬇️ https://bit.ly/3qK9V2L

The term #NetZero is now used widely and usually with respect to #Carbon. When it comes to waste, companies have taken a #ZeroWasteToLandfill approach, which is currently difficult to achieve (mainly due to infrastructure challenges) in the developing world, and some solutions may have a higher environmental impact than disposal to landfill. The #NetZeroWaste approach offers a full cost accounting of waste management, with maximun diversion from landfill at the lowest cost to the environment. Get in touch to start yoir journey today!

Achieving Net Zero Waste 🌍   Imagine a world where waste is no longer a burden and buildings excel at reducing, reusing and recovering their waste, rather than sending it to landfill. This is the goal of Net Zero Waste, a best practice approach that focuses on minimising waste while selecting the most environmentally friendly pathways.   To achieve it, the Green Building Council South Africa (GBCSA) offers a roadmap with four key pathways:   1.       On-site Efficiency 🔄 The journey begins at the source. By tackling problematic packaging, embracing green procurement, and reusing materials, you can significantly reduce your waste.   2.       On-site Recovery ♻️ Next, focus on separating waste and recyclables where they’re generated. This step maximises the recovery of recyclables and reduces contamination.   3.       Off-site Treatment 🏭 After optimising on-site efforts, only then should off-site partnerships be explored through recycling or composting options.   4.       Offsets 🌱 Finally, after all other options have been optimised, a small percentage of waste-related emissions can be offset through verified carbon trading schemes.   Net Zero Waste, for Operational Waste, is achieved when it is demonstrated that 90% of waste is diverted from landfills over 12 consecutive months.   Our team of Net Zero APs is here to guide you through this journey and help you achieve certification. Let’s Close the Gap!   Follow us to learn more about Net Zero Waste as we unpack how you can achieve it.   #GreenGap #NetZero #GreenBuildings #ZeroWaste #CircularEconomy #DontWaste

Diary of a CEO (The Green Warrior) Zero Waste to landfill Reducing waste should be every local councils top priority. It’s time we seriously did something about the huge amount of waste that goes to landfills every day. Even if biodegradable items (food, paper, biodegradable plastic etc) are sent to landfill it takes a very long time to biodegrade.   This is because landfills are designed mainly to store waste rather than to help it decompose. Landfills also produce dangerous gases and liquids, which have to be collected and disposed of safely. The three most important problems with landfill are 1. Toxins, 2. Leachate 3. Greenhouse Gases. Zero waste to landfill is a challenging but important sustainability goal as it helps conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, and minimize the environmental and social impacts associated with waste disposal. Many companies, municipalities, and communities around the world are working towards this goal as part of their broader sustainability initiatives.

 Waste-to-wealth: The economic reasons for replacing waste-to-energy with the circular economy of municipal solid waste. Visions for Sustainability 13 (2020) 59-65. https://lnkd.in/ewAxKjek 

In the quest for sustainable solutions to waste management and energy efficiency, feces-based briquettes are emerging as a powerful innovation. By transforming human waste into clean bio-fuel, this technology reduces reliance on traditional charcoal, curbs deforestation, and lowers carbon emissions—creating a circular economy where waste becomes a valuable resource. Curious about how this works and its environmental benefits? 🌱 Explore how countries like Kenya, Uganda, and Haiti are scaling this innovation and the potential for global adoption. Let's rethink waste, energy, and sustainability! #CleanEnergy #WasteManagement #Sustainability #Innovation.

Dealing with waste in our country often resorts to a 'dig and cover' approach. But let's rethink our strategy with a more sustainable solution: waste-to-energy. On this International Day of Zero Waste, let's commit to innovative solutions that not only manage waste but also generate clean energy. . . . . #ZeroWaste #WasteToEnergy #Sustainability

Opportunities for sustainable investment - in waste recycling technology! According to Forbes, the energy transition will move a total of $18 trillion for 2030. The reason for that is an increase in socially responsible and sustainable investment. These investments are assets committed to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics. In addition, the annual investment will account for approximately $1.5 to $2 trillion per year by 2030. Why is it profitable to invest in sustainability? Opportunities for sustainable investment: A non-pollutant waste management system We give is a low-carbon waste-to-energy system. Our technology recovers energy from waste and transforms it into valuable products. It also reduces 90% of the waste in landfills and produces fuels and electrical power to supply industries and homes. Besides, our technology is not traditional incineration nor pyrolysis. This technology achieves near-zero-emissions. In fact, it produces less than 4 g/h of CO2 per treated tonne of waste. Thanks to this system, we can think of a profitable, circular, and emission-neutral future of waste management. Find out more about our waste treatments and alternative products. Our waste to energy plants - are one of the best in the world! Very cool! Is it true? One technology and so many sustainable products! What could be better? The diagram below shows - the products that we get as a result of recycling waste! #Sustainability #Greentech #ClimateAction #US #Europe #GreenEconomy Please contact us!

Industrial waste circularity is the way forward for waste and pollution management, decarbonisation, writes Shobhit Srivastava There are avenues for utilising different types of industrial waste, but challenges need to be addressed to upscale usage Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), in its upcoming report on Good practices in Industrial waste circularity: A compendium, will be highlighting the good case studies on industrial waste circularity in the country and bring forth the need to upscale these initiatives and assess the full potential of industrial waste circularity in India. https://lnkd.in/gdm8gRfv
