Why change how you’ve always done it?
Because it’s the right solution at the right time.
If global food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest contributor of greenhouse gases, behind only the US and China. Nearly 40 percent of food produced in the U.S. is wasted each year; and even worse, the majority of it ends up in landfills where it is converted to methane, a potent greenhouse gas and major contributor to climate change. Unlike any other waste-management solution (all of which release these gases into the atmosphere) anaerobic digestion (or AD) captures and converts these gases into clean fuel and fertilizer. You heard that right, AD is actually net-negative when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions.
Think about that next time you are holding an apple core or spent coffee grounds and want to find a better way to manage them. You’ve got the power, call Agri-Cycle today!
