Omnivore indeed, we ate the whole animal heart liver sweetbread the lot, nothing wasted and that is what we have lost, people today turn their noses up at what i thought the best bits. Tripe and onions on a Saturday before the prime cut on Sunday, those were the days, buckets of Herring caught over night we ate the roe and all but the bones, all lost yet the toffs eat Caviar just roe when it comes to it, what happened to those tins of Crayfish much tastier than Tuna. Do not blame people with different eating habits for todays chaos, with us it was needs must, we are not the ones who lost it. There would never have been enough waste for a bio fuel plant in the day when food came out of the garden. Here in the N.E we have enough different methods of producing electricity plus another huge plant about to be built, one wonders where it all goes. Diet is your own choice or belief, I know what I like and nothing will change that, right better go put the Liver and Onions on then. Frank.
They might well B3 when it is collected and processed separately, high use processes, I don't know if sugar beet is one , but just an example off top of my head that might be.
Locally household food waste is not collected separately just goes to local mixed incinerators. They are used for energy / heat recovery? Sorry I was not sure if that is what we were talking about. I think it depends on areas and what is produced though it is not always economically viable.
Our food waste is collected separately, weekly. We were given kitchen caddies, an outside bin and a roll of liners last year. It seems to be going well so long as we manage to out-fox the foxes on collection day
Food and garden waste goes to our Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plant in Dunfermline
This waste is retained in an enclosed unit known as a fermenter. The breakdown of organic material (an anaerobic digestion process) produces biogas. The landfill gas is fed into the on-site Combined Heat And Power (CHP) Plant where it is converted into electricity and fed into the national grid. Excess heat from the CHP is fed into a district heating system.
After 28- 35 days the material is moved to aerated static piles (ASP). Oxygen is then re-introduced for 14 – 28 days
It is then pasteurised in in-vessel composting tunnels (IVC) to Animal By-Product Regulation standards. After 5 days it is placed into large piles called windrows
This makes a soil conditioner which meets the quality assurance standard ‘BSI PAS 100’ and used on Council land
Now I know!

Have just come back from the Eden project feeling very pleased, the scientists are working on microbes for the gut in cattle so they won’t burp out methane, Joy! We will all be saved.
