How to Save Money On Food Waste Disposal

There are a few ways to save money on food waste disposal. Many people throw out food that is still perfectly edible. Instead of throwing it away, consider donating it to a local food bank or giving it to a friend or family member who can use it in a recipe.

It is important to remember that reducing food waste is not only good for the environment, but it is also good for business. By reducing food waste, companies can save money, improve their image, and increase their productivity. Another way to save money on food waste disposal is to compost your food waste. Composting is a great way to recycle food waste and reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Follow the instructions on your compost bin to compost your food waste safely.

But, there is now a new way to save on food waste disposal which has arisen from better equipment for depackaging and separation of food waste. Whereas before the machines would separate the organic pulp OK, the rest was too dirty to do anything with it. So it went to landfill.

Now there is the Twister depackager for example, which makes not only optimised organic pulp from source-segregated food waste, but also the rejected material plastics and metals cans etc can be sold.

Our video above shows this, but read on and we will explain in more depth:

Is your food waste still being landfilled?

First, figure out where your food waste goes after it leaves your kitchen.

Food waste generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas if it goes into a landfill. Methane accounts for one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions from the waste sector. In the US, food waste is a large contributor to landfills.

Despite being a significant contributor to climate change, food waste is still being landfilled in high-income countries.

There is a perception in some sectors that food waste is a waste product that can be safely disposed of in landfills. However, this is not the case. On the other hand, food waste contains valuable nutrients and can be composted or anaerobically digested, to create valuable soil amendments.

That's expensive, but with our depackaging machine, you can save money!

Certainly, there are a number of ways to save on your packaging costs. For example, you can utilize depackaging machines to reduce the amount of material that needs to be disposed of. You would need to invest in the very latest in depackaging equipment that can create plastic outputs which can be used to make recycled plastic resin.

Ultimately, the best way to save money by investing in depackaging equipment is to do your research and find the right solution for your specific business needs. However, recyclers are finding that the following is a good strategy:

Separate the food from the rest and get paid for the pulp.

Better still. Also, recycle your food waste plastic for more savings.

There are many ways to recycle plastic. The most common way is to sort it into its individual polymers, such as PET plastic bottles, and then use those to create a recycled resin from which to make new products.

Additionally, some plastics reprocessing companies offer specific recycling programs for the popular plastic material polymers. Plastic suitable for recycling has a rising value.

By recycling plastic correctly, you can help reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills, and you can also save money in the process.
