All Waste Technologies Demonstrator Projects Now Signed
All 9 of the Governments New Technologies Demonstrator Programme jobs have actually now been signed. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has validated them to commence.“If we can get as many of the demonstrators running by 2009 then we have actually attained our objective of getting them in place before the 2010 targets;”

How a Food Waste Separator Makes Disposing of Leftovers Easier
A food waste separator makes it easy to dispose of leftovers and scraps of food. This machine is usually equipped with an auger that pushes the waste into the separator unit itself. Various shaped paddles and rods in the separator press the food waste through screens. The separated material drops out as a slurry, with […]
Reuse Old Materials by Applying These Furniture Recycling Ideas
When the time comes to replace your kitchen, why not reuse (repurpose) old materials by applying these furniture recycling ideas/ tips? It's tempting to just throw the existing cabinets away and start from scratch. That's not only unnecessary, it's wasteful. That's because the majority of kitchen cabinet materials are non-recyclable. This creates a significant problem […]
World Recycling Statistics – Top 5 List of Recycling Countries 2018
World recycling statistics supplied by governments vary in how they classify and record recycling rates, so we provide our Top 5 List of Recycling Countries 2018, as adjusted recycling rates to reveal the true top recycling nations. Additionally, recycling rates are also a delusion for a number of countries which after adjustment are shown to […]
Autoclaving of Municipal Solid Waste
Municipal Solid Waste Autoclaving is one of the waste treatment process that is being used to pre-treat waste, and it is often applied to the residual waste after all recycling has been done. Howqever, it can also be used before recycling, and when this is done it helps by reducing volumes, shrinking all plastic film, […]
Thanks for an interesting flashback to the Government’s New Technologies Demonstrator Programme. Looking back, it was this that showed how really quite simple biogas facilities could produce biogas from the organic fraction of MSW, and started a lot of people thinking. Hey. This could work?! Now look at how many large AD plants there are working after MRFs in MBT facilities.
One of the demonstrator projects included the construction of a novel vertical aerobic composting system which was in a building to stop odours escaping so could be built in towns near houses, and had a very small footprint area, because it was vertical. Your article is good so far, but where can I find information on that composting system now?
It was a very progressive move for the UK government to spend money in the demonstrator programme to help a struggling technological improvement take place. This is a good model for other governments to copy, when technology needs to be developed for the national and global good. Has it been done since in other countries?
Hello there! Do you know if any of the original plants are still working? If they have shut-down did the funding achieve a good result?
