Composting / Biodegrading / Anaerobic Digestion

James Barker, member of the Chartered Institute of Waste Board, will be educating people about composting / biodegrading / anaerobic digestion.

Attendees will gain an insight into the various methods of food waste disposal both domestic and commercial and why there is no perfect solution. Progress to date, and what householders can do to reduce landfill. Methane gas from landfill is 25 times more dangerous than C 02. Also the various landfill directives are simply target driven with no advice on suitable methods.
 
 As as a maintenance engineer with specialist knowledge in food machinery lubrication James has worked in numerous food production sites and was appalled to see first hand  the landfill disposal of thousands of tons of human and animal food waste. This easy option is no longer viable. 
 
James has just been granted a patent for the reuse of domestic grey water in the home and the system will be on the market by Easter. Their design for a Methane Gas Generator with farm/factory applications is now well advanced, and is intended to reduce waste food disposal energy consumption.(one of the problems with the proposed trial in Peterborough).

If you're interested in joining us, meet in our offices at 12.00 Tuesday, 8th December.
