💡 Ever processed beetroots in your kitchen? You know the scene – bright red stains everywhere. Now imagine that on a food factory scale! 💧 That's the challenge Latvian salad and juice producer SIA Dimdini faced – litres of sugar-rich, bright red wastewater from beetroot processing. This kind of waste is not only tough to treat but also costly 💸 - or used to be. Together with Econet, Dimdini piloted a game-changing solution. 🚀 We provided a compact, containerised treatment plant that combined biological treatment with electrocoagulation – no chemicals and new buildings needed! This process meets local wastewater standards and significantly cuts wastewater treatment costs. 📉 As Rolands Prindulis, Technical Manager at Dimdini, said: "This was a groundbreaking pilot project. We expect substantial cost savings in the future. These guys know what they’re doing!" Proud to deliver sustainable and cost-efficient solutions that make a real impact. 🌍💧 #Wastewatertreatment #Foodfactory #Sustainability #Innovation #Costefficiency #Chemicalfree

#upcycling Some interesting videos:) "Waste Streams For Upcycling Solutions Include: Imperfect produce from farms, such as oranges and watermelons Overproduction of produce from farms, such as spinach Harvest byproducts, such as cacao pulp, cacao juice and cascara Side streams from processing facilities, such as wastewater from the blanching of mushrooms prior to canning Pomace (the pulp and residue remaining after produce has been crushed for juice extraction), such as that of blueberries or cranberries " https://lnkd.in/eZ7kfdTs

Excellent to see government and local body representatives engaging with the social, economic and environmental opportunities of upcycling food waste. Innovation and technology like that being used @foodbowl is a key enabler in fighting food waste and realising new revenue streams for businesses. We are working with our Kai Commitment signatories to explore these kind of opportunities within their operations and across their supply chain as part of their food waste action plans. #fightingfoodwaste #kaicommitment #foodwasteinnovation

Did you know that most waste in the meat industry is produced during the slaughtering process? This process is characterized by a high volume of unavoidable product-specific waste. Waste from abattoirs has the potential for upcycling and conversion into useful by-products limiting the environmental impact. Non-utilization or under-utilization of by-products leads not only to reduced profitability but also to the added and increasing costs of disposal. Sinowatek offers the Pulse Combustion Dryer for drying blood waste into a powder. The fresh whole blood is taken directly from the abattoir as wet feed with up to 16% total solids (TS). When dried in the pulse combustion chamber, the water content of the blood is changed into super-heated steam, leaving behind a very dry, fine powder with sphere-shaped, smooth-surfaced particles. The powder contains a moisture level of approximately 2%. No denaturing of proteins takes place during the drying process, leaving the blood powder ready to be utilized in any application within the circular economy. Curious to learn more about Pulse Combustion Drying and how it can benefit your operations? Visit our website for more details!

Is the use of straw and grain in packaging a scalable option? TOO RIGHT. I will have big news to share about ReStalk in the coming weeks. Meanwhile this is a great summary of all the activity in the #StrawPulp #TreeFree packaging market. And there is much more to report as the year progresses 💚🌾

If you work in the food production sector, you are likely spinning a lot of plates - for example, the maintenance and replacement costs of timber vegetable growing boxes 🍏 We recently supplied a client who was seeking an environmentally sound solution to this problem. We created lidless, stackable, long-life, robust, easy-to-clean, cases – and at an affordable price. The cases are hygienic and resistant to infestation, algae and moss growth. In an environment that is often required to be kept damp, our Smartawood™ is rot-free, needs no up-keep, and is a carbon-negative solution ♻️ https://lnkd.in/enhDrNMx #Recycling #Lumber #RecycledPlastic #SustainableMaterials #SmartaWood #CultivationWeek

Quest (Nasdaq:QRHC) is a key enabler converting food waste into compost to be used for other purposes (like growing more food) rather than contributing to the landfill. Food waste is the number 1 contributor to methane gas emissions in landfills.

"Be the change you want to see in this world" - Gandhi We had compostable seals on our 1L bottles since day dot of launching them - so you can just pop them in the food bin, and know they're not contributing to the 8 MILLION tonnes of plastic waste per year. Thing is, they needed high heat to apply in our bottling room - with high energy needs; then at the end of the day they could take months to compost if they weren't handled correctly. Our new seals are different - a cutting edge technology that means they 'self-seal' and don't need lots of energy to fit and even better, they begin decomposing up to 50% faster than the old seals. Also, because they're now branded, we don't need to have our glass bottles printed on machines needing massive amounts of energy - another HUGE energy and carbon cost removed; and a win for more glass bottles being reused again, and again, and again, and again, and again.
