Organic Waste Recycling involves the transformation of biodegradable waste materials into valuable resources like compost or biogas. This process is crucial for sustainable waste management, reducing landfill use and contributing to the natural cycle of organic matter.
The production of palm oil in Central and South America and Southeast Asia is an important industry. After the brown ripens, the fruit separates from the stem, leaving an empty fruit bunch (EFB) as a waste. Every year, tens of millions of tons of EFB are generated, and research on the possibility of utilizing this waste is also ongoing.EFB is by-product of oil palm fruit after being pressed, with rich cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin components. They can be recycled and reused in various ways:1. Composting: EFB can be used as organic material for composting treatment. Through the action of microorganisms, EFB can be decomposed into nutrient rich organic fertilizers for agricultural production, improving soil structure and fertility.2. Biofuels: EFB can be converted into biofuels through technologies such as pyrolysis, gasification, and anaerobic fermentation. For example, pyrolysis can convert EFB into bio oil, biochar, and combustible gases; Anaerobic fermentation can produce biogas.3. Pulp and
Organic waste is one of the last things that should end up in landfills, as it can be easily transformed into feed, fertilizer, or biogas with simple processing. However, the reality presents challenges as a significant amount of urban organic waste accumulates and causes environmental pollution due to insufficient disposal capacity, leading to the production of biogas, wastewater, and foul odors. Additionally, many organic waste streams are contaminated with non-organic components, posing a challenge in efficient separation.GEP ECOTECH's organic solid waste solution offers a complete suite of technologies for handling organic waste, including shredding, dewatering, sorting, bioprocessing, and safe disposal. Our comprehensive technical solutions also encompass the management of gases and liquids generated during the process.
