Circular Economy Theatre: Sponsored by Suez

Jason Hoen

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.

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 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.

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.

The seminar will look at Highways England’s corporate approach to the circular economy, including its use of ‘pathfinder projects’ to trial and develop approaches before wider implementation. The seminar will consider recent experience implementing circular economy and resource efficiency approaches to major infrastructure schemes and regional planning with examples of the challenges faced and successes and will conclude with a summary of current activity and next steps.
