Environmental Biodegradable Additive
MISSION
Global plastic waste and pollution continues to grow as society, become more dependent on the convenience, durability and economy of plastic goods.
According to Hong Kong EPD, about the overloading on those present landfill site, and the objection of any expansion of landfill sites at Tseung Kwan O ( SENT ), Sha Tau Kok ( NENT ) & Nim Wan ( WENT ). Research shows that up to 90% of the plastic used in Hong Kong ( with approx. 20% are plastic in total 5.87 millions tons of disposals waste in Year 2018 ) *, where they stays for hundreds of years ! In these plastic there are around 400 millions pieces of plastic were belongs to disposals cutlery from Fast Food Restaurants, as the statistics figures in Year 2007-2009 *
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when someone mentions “landfills” ? Perhaps you immediately think of garbage, pollution or smelly waste ? How about a source for clean, inexpensive energy ?
Utilizing the anaerobic biodegradation process within landfills has many benefits. The United Nations Development Program* has recognized anaerobic digestion facilities as one of the most useful decentralized sources of energy supply. Utilizing anaerobic digestion technologies can help to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and improve environmental conditions in a number of key ways:
-
Energy Production-by replacing fossil fuels
-
Combat Global Warming- by reducing methane emission from landfills
-
Nutrient Recovery- by displacing industrially-produced chemical fertilizers
-
Reducing electrical grid transportation losses
-
Conserve Land
-
Pathogen Reduction
-
Waste Reduction
Methane and power produced in anaerobic digestion landfill can be utilized & captured to replace energy derived from fossil fuels, and hence reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. This is due to the fact that the carbon in biodegradable material is part of a carbon cycle. The carbon released into the atmosphere from the combustion of biogas has been removed from the atmosphere by plants in order for them to grow in the recent past. This can have occurred within the last decade, but more typically within the last growing season. If the plants are re-grown, taking the carbon out of the atmosphere once more, the system will be carbon neutral. This contrasts to carbon in fossil fuels that has been sequestered in the earth for many millions of years, the combustion of which increases the overall levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Dr. Chong from York University*:
“Microbes could provide a clean, renewable energy source and consume carbon dioxide in the process,” suggested Dr. James Chong at a Science Media Center press briefing.
