Leafield Environmental has enhanced its external recycling bin range by offering the Envirobank Split dual container with a food waste aperture option. If sent to landfill, food waste rots and generates methane, a powerful greenhouse gas whereas if routed to anaerobic digestion it can be a valuable source of energy.<\/p>\n
Of equal, if not greater importance, is the fact that non-segregated food waste can contaminate other valuable waste streams. Even a small amount of food waste can cause a six tonne skip of mixed recyclate to be rejected at the commercial recycling facility, leaving a cost penalty to be paid.<\/p>\n
The Envirobank Split accommodates two individual waste streams in two 90-litre wheelie bins accessed for emptying via the hinged front. It is designed with a patented double skin honeycomb structure for ultimate strength and durability, yet its modern lines make it equally suitable for use both internally or externally. The colour-coded apertures conform to WRAP guidelines and include graphics for the waste stream to be collected, as standard.<\/p>\n
As the law moves towards the mandatory segregation of food waste (already in place in Scotland) the Envirobank Split is ideally placed to assist in this progress.<\/p>\n
