Campaigners of food waste energy production are also concerned about hygienic issues for leaving rotten and vile food materials especially in months when mercury is rising. Moreover, now that materials related to food waste like glass or aluminium used for packaging are extremely recyclable and also are highly useful to produce energy.
Hilary Benn has heralded that a project worth of 10 million investments will turn such food waste into renewable home energy, biofuels. For this reason, an informal consultation has been launched in order to ban food waste materials to be sent to landfill. Councils being not allowed to dump food at the landfill shows the sign that the food scraps are being stocked in a ‘slop bucket’ for reusing those in transforming into biofuel or else to be burned with other scrap materials in incinerator.
These food waste materials are being piled into separate food waste collection containers – that are ‘slop bucket’ or brown plastic caddy in the kitchen on either weekly or fortnightly schedule basis. The facilities are supposed to convert food waste into biogas which will generate heat and electricity while the leftover food will go to the process of being used as fertiliser – therefore, if you are complaining that your children are wasteful as they leave foods on their plates and in the trash, stop it as your children are actually contributing to resources to be used to generate alternative sources of energy.
