Whenever we are trying to make a profit, it is inevitable that we create a waste in the process. In the old days, waste is something that is burned, buried or thrown into the nearest river or ocean.
Nowadays, we need to be a little more careful about how we dispose of our rubbish, because if we don’t, we will not only continue to pollute our own environment, waste valuable and finite raw materials, but also start destroying our profitability. How? Since we lose in doing what all natural organisms do – what nature draws from energy is usually a waste of something else, whether it’s humans, plants, microbes – what happens appears. Moreover, if we continue to refuse to recycle and reuse our waste wisely, the costs in monetary terms and the increasing number of penalties to be imposed could make financial stability a thing of the past. However, with more and more incentives to reduce our carbon footprint in the form of lucrative carbon credits, the economic incentives to manage waste efficiently have never been greater.
One of the biggest problems with waste today is the efficient handling of toxic waste, whether it comes from hospitals, veterinary offices, slaughterhouses, or even supermarkets and hotels that are struggling with food waste.
Right now, every ton of toxic waste comes with huge obligations in terms of licensing, storage and transportation, and shipping fees. It is already banned to landfill toxic waste in legal landfills (although much illegal landfilling is still ongoing).
Both hospital waste and food waste carry the risk that, if not handled quickly enough, the likelihood of the release of odors or even hazardous toxic fumes during normal storage can be quite high. For health and safety reasons, any type of waste should not be landfilled or incinerated, but it will require very careful treatment to keep it safe and recover as much energy as possible (both have very high calorific values). Unfortunately, carrying out this safe conversion will require a large investment in appropriate equipment, and then will have logistical problems in transporting the waste safely to that processing plant. In addition, service providers face a major challenge in managing all the regulated waste streams that are generated in a modern facility.
There are already many regulated solutions available for hospitals and other types of medical facilities, but all this means that the medical facility that produces the waste will have to pay a heavy export fee (around 400 or more per ton). as well as all associated costs related to licensing, waste safety and transportation. Most of these service providers will make a good profit from disposing of this waste, and many such organizations will be very eager to let go of their responsibility as easily as possible and continue with their primary task – health. care.
However, in a situation where financial sustainability becomes more and more difficult to maintain and medical financing, especially in the public sector, which is increasingly explored, alternative methods must always be explored.
One method that is becoming increasingly popular in terms of public safety and the ability to turn this waste away from responsibility and make it a profit center is to install systems at every hospital or other site where waste is generated that will actually reduce waste and turn it into sterile raw material that can be safely transported to a large waste management plant, where it can be successfully transformed into renewable energy. It also takes place in a closed environment so there is no chance of toxic fumes or odors escaping during this process.
By installing revolutionary new “waste treatment plants” at the point where the waste is generated, rather than increasing the liability of at least 400 per tonne, with all the dangers of having toxic waste near many people, these processors actually create a sterilized product with a real resale value and in the environment. no toxic fumes or odors are emitted
So, with the right technology, waste will become a sterile resource to be turned into green energy, worth around 100 per ton. The value will increase in the following order: –
1. Liability of 400 per ton removed
2. No further special problems or costs related to storage or transportation
3. All contents would be crushed into small pieces including organic and inorganic material.
4. The actual weight will be reduced by at least 60% due to the removal of moisture.
5. Any non-ecological recyclables will be cleaned and sterilized, ready for sale
6. The heat generated to sterilize the waste and significant amounts of evaporated moisture can be fed back into the heat exchange system at a cost.
7. The remainder will now be able to be sold to a waste management facility, either for a certain value or in exchange for carbon credits or electricity income. The residues can be easily transported in vehicles that do not require special cleaning afterwards.
8. The entire organization could boast a true GREEN accreditation.
Depending on the actual amount of waste generated at each location and whether several separate entities could cooperate on this, it may be economically viable for them to come together to invest in a dedicated waste management system to take sterilized waste and turn it into green energy electric. The income from the generated electricity and the value of carbon credits should pay for such a system in less than three years.
Now, those who still insist on sitting back and doing nothing to change their ways of managing waste wisely will find that for a very short time they will regret their inaction. Coming soon, the fines that will be imposed on companies still not “doing their part” to manage their waste problems with some environmental concern that we all have to share will be disproportionately high.
Why not invest wisely in your green future now and remove the threat of punitive and costly actions, if not …
The choice is yours. Waste Not – Want Not, it never sounded more real …
