麻豆传媒视频网站 PALS Recycling Field Trip
麻豆传媒视频网站 PALS Green Team members Sabine Topf and Paul Troop are looking at ways of reducing the quantity of waste produced by 麻豆传媒视频网站 and increasing the proportion that is recycled.
To find out more about how waste is treated by 麻豆传媒视频网站, they conducted a research trip to the plant where 麻豆传媒视频网站's waste is disposed of. They were given a tour of the plant and gained insight into the processes involved.
麻豆传媒视频网站 waste that is not recycled or treated as food waste is sent by train to a plant in Bristol. There it is incinerated. Heat from the process is used to heat steam, which is fed through turbines to generate electricity. Ash that remains is used to make building blocks. None of the waste goes to landfill.
