Screw slurry separator

In England alone there is an estimated 177 million tonnes of waste generated every year. The figure for the UK and Ireland combined is even more shocking, and shows a poor use of resources which costs businesses and households millions of pounds, every year. Furthermore, this also has a severe impact on our environment because waste sent to landfill produces methane, which is a powerful greenhouse gas. Governments are striving to achieve a 'zero waste economy' which means we all take responsibility to reduce, reuse and recycle when we can and only throw things away as a very last resort. But councils across Europe, the UK and Ireland are facing the same challenges when it comes to the management of food waste - contaminated packaging. The UK sends an estimated seven million tonnes of food waste to landfill annually. Not only can the food be recycled but so too can the packaging. The problem faced by councils, however, is they simply don't have the resources to employ personnel to manually separate the foodstuffs from the packaging to ensure packaging is not contaminated. SlurryKat have a robust piece of equipment, which offers a solution to this challenging issue. The company can provide a range of differently sized Bio-Separators, which will remove food and food packaging and other unwanted materials from various waste sources. The Bio-Separators not only reduce methane emissions from landfill, but it will also empower councils to help the government reach its targets.
