Transforming Your Food Waste For The Benefit Of The Environment
Jason Hoen of Green Eco Technologies (GET), will describe challenges facing the Environment due to high volumes of food waste, and legislative changes being introduced to ensure adoption of responsible waste management systems. Among the solutions available, Jason will describe the WasteMaster system developed by GET for a wide range of industry sectors, which converts food waste on-site into much smaller volumes of residual material, re-purposing waste for positive re-use.

Reducing Environmental Impact of Food Processing - Bio-energy and Water Reuse
Water use and energy consumption are key issues for the food processing sector. While food and drink manufacturers must satisfy customer and other stakeholder pressure on carbon emissions, they also need to manage water resources more effectively. On-site bio-energy can facilitate grey water re-use and, using case study examples, I will show how more effective effluent management will enable manufacturers to access the latent energy content in their liquid bio-residues.

Valorisation: Getting Value from Hard-To-Avoid Food Waste
Valorisation is the process of adding value to wastes and by-products by converting them into useful products; including chemicals, materials, and fuels. This approach is attracting renewed interest in the food sector due to the fast depletion of natural and primary resources, and the need for more sustainable and cost-efficient waste management protocols. This presentation explores the scale of the opportunity, examples of businesses already innovating in this space, and how you can get involved.

An innovative recycling and energy recovery solution from Oakleaf Recycling
Using state of the art recycling equipment in an innovate way, Oakleaf have developed an advanced MRF. Careful process control has enabled the recovery of high quality recyclates and the production of a consistent Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) for supply to cement kilns. This has enabled Oakleaf to address the gap in waste processing capacity currently in the London region. Foresight is proud to partner with Drumcastle Limited, private investors and lenders to deliver this unique project, located near Heathrow.

New innovation reducing organic waste by 95% in 72 hours
Reducing the volume of organic waste by up to 95% within 72 hours can be a game changer for some businesses. Learn how a new revolutionary technology, which utilises a blend of specialist bacteria that creates an exothermic reaction, is achieving these results. The reduced digestate output has a calorific value equivalent to biomass so if it isn’t simply disposed, learn how there is potential to gain EfW from it.

Bringing web-based technology to garden waste
We will be demonstrating how Permiserv has brought technology to garden waste services for councils around the UK. Using a cloud-based portal we will highlight how this brings traceability, efficiency and accountability to councils and residents alike. We will show how Permiserv offer the full service from data upload to a permit led solution. We will show how we have worked with councils from the very beginning and present our knowledge to assist in this project from envelope design – to working with inhouse CRM systems.
