The
Ceres waste food processing machine is just
one of many products offered by Electro
Automation. This machine has been working
successfully in a number of specific placements
in various locations. It caters for a cross
section of canteen food wastes which are
treated on site and can process weights
of 50kgs, 150kgs and 1000kgs per day. The
food is recycled into a nutrient rich sand
that is subsequently applied to land as
a soil improver. Growth trials using the
soil improver have been carried out successfully,
with results showing improved standards
in plant growth / product.
Performance
monitoring and detailed testing has been
carried out and information accumulated
from all of the testing has been documented.

particular reference to waste and its disposal,
we in the European Union have an abundance of legislation
to adhere too; new directives are being issued on
a daily basis in an attempt to work towards long
term sustainability. This legislation and the pressure
of landfill tax increases year upon year, guide
us towards looking at alternative waste reduction
and recycling solutions.
The
EU Landfill Directive: sets targets on member
states for the reduction of biodegradable waste
sent to landfill;
- 75%
of the 1995 level by 2010
- 50%
of the 1995 level by 2013
- 35%
of the 1995 level by 2020
As
a result of this directive, the Government in
England introduced...

Waste
Strategy 2000: sets onerous targets for Local
Authorities in an attempt to reduce our dependence
upon landfill as a disposal outlet for biodegradable
waste;
Recycle or compost at least
- 25%
of household waste by 2005
- 30%
of household waste by 2010
- 33%
of household waste by 2015
The
Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland
and the Welsh Assembly have set similar targets.
Animal
By-Products Regulation (No. (EC) 1774/2002)
If
the above targets are to be achieved, the composting
of food waste is seen as a vital tool. The ABP
regulations go to great lengths to detail treatment
standards for meat and other products of animal
origin, to ensure processed material may be safely
disposed of or applied to land.
