N.J. Anaerobic Digester Plant Transforms Food Waste into Renewable Natural Gas
It’s no secret that New York City, like many densely populated urban areas throughout history, has a trash and rodent problem. Mountains of bloated trash bags —many containing food waste that attract rats burrowing and gnawing through them—are a blight on sidewalks all over the city.
The problem is more than an aesthetic or public health issue. Significant quantities of food, as well as cooking greases, fats and oils, are thrown out rather than consumed. According to ReFED, a U.S.-based non-profit that tracks food waste across the U.S., decomposition of organic trash on streets or in landfills releases methane into the atmosphere, a major contributor to climate change.
