Diverting waste from landfills is a vital step towards a cleaner, more sustainable future. By finding better uses for waste, we not only help reduce the burden on landfills but also contribute to a cleaner air, water and soil. That helps everyone.
One of the innovative ways Davidson Environmental accomplishes this is by processing organic waste so it can be used in biogas facilities. This contributes to a circular economy where the waste is re-purposed at every step from creating biofuel to using the residual bi-product as fertilizer.
THE DIFFERENCE IT MAKES
Research shows that 2.5 kg of food waste can generate 1 m³ of biogas, equivalent to about 6 kWh of energy. For the average Canadian family, diverting organic waste could generate 200 kWh per year—enough for 22 loads of laundry, 20 hours of TV, or 400 slices of toast!
At Davidson Environmental, we make this process easy and odor-free for businesses with our switch-out bin service, swapping fresh bins for filled bins regularly. This year, we’ve:
• Prevented 6,264 tonnes of waste from reaching landfills
• Contributed to generating 1,051,297 kWh of eco-friendly electricity
• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 1,652 tonnes
We encourage everyone to consider, “How can I contribute to waste diversion?” If managing organic waste is part of your answer, check out our services at www.davidsonenvironmental.ca .
