Commercial Businesses & Institutions
The generation of organic waste is inevitable, but how this waste is managed can make a significant difference.
In today's world, where environmental sustainability is not just a preference but a necessity, commercial businesses and institutions like hotels, restaurants, bars, catering, caferias, retail stores, wholesalers, health care facilities, educational institutions and office buildings, play a key role. The generation of organic waste is inevitable in such settings, but how this waste is managed can make a significant difference. By collectively changing a small habit like the bag we collect food waste with, we don't just reduce harm - we actually actively replenish the environment and contribute positively to the Bioeconomy.
Organic waste and left-over foods make up More than 44% of all waste globally each year, adding up to almost 1 billion tons. This should be converted into biogas or composted and turned into nutrient rich soil. If organic waste is sorted and collected separately, it can be converted into biogas or nutritious compost to grow new crops in and spread on the fields to nurture the soil. If we collect the leftovers food scraps with a conventional plastic bag, it will contaminate the compost and atmosphere with microplastic fractions no matter how meticulous we are in the handling process. That’s why it is so important to change the waste bag to a fully certified compostable alternative. Only then, can we make sure that the compost goes back into the soil without microplastic contamination!
Why switch to Biobags?
- The bags become a natural part of the organic waste they collect.
- No microplastic pollution in the compost and soil.
- A tangible tool to give back to the Bioeconomy.
- Supports your sustainable efforts and image towards employees and customers.
- Biobags breathe which allows moisture to evaporate. This reduces the weight of the food waste, making transportation and handling cheaper.
- An easy tool to make a positive environmental impact.
- Fully certified compostable with food waste.
- Makes collection of organics more hygienic and convenient.
What can you do?
You can provide a tangible tool for your customers/employees to do better by the environment by switching to fully compostable bags, sacks and liners. Communicate this change to inspire active sorting and to drive the initial behaviour change.
You could reinforce and thank your customers and employees for minimizing microplastic pollution and taking an active part in giving back to the Bioeconomy. Communicate the value and effect of collecting organic waste and recovering the valuable resources within the organic waste. This allows conversion into biogas or nutritious compost to grow new crops in. By collectively changing a small habit like the bag we collect food waste with, we don't just reduce harm - we actually actively replenish the environment and contribute positively to the Bioeconomy.
A small change with a big impact!
