How Food Waste Composting can help us achieve SDG 13?
Climate change is not a hoax. In recent years, the world is beginning to witness the effects of global warming and it is projected to get worst. A large proportion of this is caused by human activities pumping out more greenhouse gases into the earth atmosphere, with the excess heat causing a rise in atmospheric temperature. At current pace, we are projected to reach 1.5°C by 2030. This means more extreme weather are coming.
Food waste and food losses contributes about 6% of total global CO2 emissions. In Malaysia, we throw away 17,000 tons of food waste everyday! When we throw food away, we are wasting the produce, plus all energy and resources used to produce it. Furthermore, when food waste ended up in dump sites and landfills, it will decompose and release harmful methane gas (CH4) into the atmosphere. As a greenhouse gas, methane is 28 times more potent compared to carbon dioxide (CO2).
Food waste converted into organic fertilizer (or soil adamant) can be used at your facility. You can also start a CSR program and distribute to your local communities. Alternatively (if you have the volume), You could also play an active role in our nation's circular economy by supplying organic fertilizer to the local food production industry. This will help us be less reliant on fossil fuel based fertilizers.
When you actively recycle food waste at your facility, you will be diverting all your food waste from being sent to the local sanitary landfill or dump site. This would prevent the release of harmful methane gas (CH4) into the atmosphere. Diverting food waste also means less garbage disposal truck movement, which further reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. This will also help to prolong the lifespan of existing sanitary landfills and dumpsites
Food waste composting is a good project to implement for the SDG 13 climate action goal. This is a simple, low-cost technology with a high positive environmental impact. Get started on reducing your corporate carbon footprint today.
Every facility is built differently. With a tailor-made food waste management solution for your facility, we ensure that all food waste produced with be processed daily. This will immediately lower your waste disposal cost as you cut down on landfill tipping trips. Over time, you will also start to enjoy savings in other areas of building maintenance costs as well, like less clogged drainage to clear, less pest control required.
We provide (free of charge) a detailed site specific feasibility report that will demonstrate the projected ROI of managing food waste at your facility. We will also show you the potential CO2 avoidance that you can realize from project implementation, which will help your company achieve your emission targets.
We will assist your team in setting up the complete food waste management system at your facility to ensure continuous operations after start up. From food waste segregation to compost machine operation, we ensure you are able to takeover and operate smoothly. We also provide regular scheduled maintenance and ad hoc breakdown support. If necessary, we can assist to remove the organic compost from your facility as well.
You can opt for an outright purchase of our food waste management solutions, and choose to sign up for our scheduled maintenance program. Alternatively, you can also opt for our long-term rental program (terms and conditions apply) with a built in options to purchase. Whichever you decide, you will still enjoy the comprehensive after sales support throughout your project period.
