North East, UK - Business Waste & Renewable Energy

More and more businesses are focusing on their green credentials and knowing everything you need to know about Business Waste & Renewable Energy is a great place to start when you are making plans.

Ensuring you use an ethical and green waste management company like 1st Choice Waste is essential to support your business journey and we commit to supporting you to ensure as much of your waste as possible is converted into renewable energy using our biomass boiler.

Things are getting slightly better and the world seems to be taking notice that we need to reduce the amount of waste we are producing, however, we all still have a long way to go and a lot more to do to stop climate change in its rapid state. In an ideal world, we would have minimal or no waste at all, however, this is a very long way off, if not completely unrealistic. We have talked previously about the 4 R’s of waste which is now more important than ever; refuse, reduce, reuse and recycle but what more can businesses do?

We know that some items of waste just can’t be recycled, however, if they can’t be recycled then a lot of time they can go to energy recovery and be converted to energy rather than be dumped in toxic landfill sites.

Converting your waste into energy provides a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly way of disposing of waste, avoiding landfill, whilst producing energy as a last resort. This reduces the reliance on fossil fuels as well as working towards improving your businesses environmental credentials by supporting you in achieving a zero-to-landfill status.

How Does 1st Choice Waste Convert Your Business Waste Into Energy?

Biomass is a renewable energy source that is created from natural or once-living material. Materials that can be burned in a biomass boiler include; wood pellets, wood, branches, roots, grass clippings, manure, crops and some other types of waste.

It is an extremely versatile renewable energy source as it can be used to generate both heat and electricity, and can be used in combined heat and power units as well as being used as liquid fuel for the automotive industry. It can provide energy for homes, businesses, communities as well as creating steam which can drive wind and tide turbines.

In summary, biomass converts unwanted waste from homes and businesses into energy and it reduces greenhouse gas emissions in two different ways:

Heat and electrical energy are generated, reducing the dependence on power plants and fossil fuel sites which create huge and dangerous amounts of greenhouse gases

Greenhouse gas emissions are significantly reduced by preventing methane emissions from landfill sites where the waste would be otherwise dumped which can take thousands of years to degrade whilst all the time producing dangerous methane gas

Biomass energy is an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuel which has dramatically changed the world’s climate. Research has shown that using a renewable energy source such as biomass bioenergy can reduce an individual’s or businesses carbon footprint by over 80%.
