Recycle your food!
Householders who regularly waster food could be fined by their local council if the government goes ahead with a new plan that is to slash the amount of food being sent to landfills across the country. The Government is considering the introduction of Kitchen Caddies so that households are more aware of recycling their food waste. If a household is found dumping an awful lot of food into their usual bins then they could face a large fine.
It is calculated that British households throw away 4.1M tonnes of food waste each year – The equivalent of £420 for every household. The majority of the food that is being thrown away is not being recycled and it is a major concern for government officials in the worlds push for a greener society. Currently, the food industry is expected to segregate their food waste properly so I do not see why any household should be different. Catering companies from around the country are expected to use appropriate methods in deposing waste food. The private catering and wedding catering industry produces over 3 m tonnes of waste a year which is properly disposed of and now the Government want to emulate this routine by implementing the same strategy into the household.
The Government have also been carrying out research to ban specific products in landfills as it is harmful to the environment. Detailed research was carried out for the same bans in countries close by such as Austria, Germany and Holland. It showed that the amount of waste sent to landfill in from 27% to 1% after a landfill ban was introduced for some materials such as paper and card. This was along other methods to try and boost the awareness of recycling as much as possible.
A spokesman for the Government has stated that he does not see the logic in putting, food glass, aluminium or wood into a landfill. There is no reason why we cannot use these dumped materials to make greener energy for everyone?
