Food waste processing is 'worth the extra effort'
Cornwall Council is encouraging residents to recycle food waste through an anaerobic digester that turns it into electricity and fertilizer. The process has already recycled 36,000 tonnes of waste and aims to boost the county's recycling rate to 65% by 2029. The facility produces enough energy to power 8,500 homes and reduces environmental harm compared to incineration.
