Food Waste to Plant Food. Saving the environment, one bite at a time.
The Traceability of our Environmental Sustainable Food Recycling
Environmental sustainability is a very pressing issue that we can either choice to ignore or make decisions and carry out actions that will make a difference. 4% of our total greenhouse gas emissions are from food and organic waste.
(https://environment.govt.nz/what-government-is-doing/areas-of-work/waste/reducing-food-waste/)
For every 1kg of food waste, just over 2.5kg of CO2 is emitted and when food ends up in landfill, it generates methane, a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) 25 times more potent than CO2.
(2013; Food Wastage Footprint Impact on Natural Resources; United Nation’s Food & Agriculture Organization)
Many individuals and companies are seeking ways to help improve environmental outcomes which is very encouraging.
Hungry Worms Ltd and Uncle Bob’s Garden Care products are focused on a full cycle solution, converting waste food products in an environmentally sustainable manner into premium quality garden care products.
The main benefits through this activity are twofold:
-
Selected waste products, the bulk of which are currently going to landfill, are collected and processed by means of commercial scale worm farms.
