UoM hits major sustainability milestone: Main Campus is 100% Zero Lanfill

Super happy to announce this!

Main Campus is now 100% 'Zero Landfill' 🍃

All our waste will now undergo an Energy from Waste (EfW) process - where non-recyclables are converted into heat and energy.

Its #EnergyFromWaste, so stop calling it an #Incinerator
What's they're other choices? They stop producing waste, or start filling a quarry with it. 🤦🤷

Energy from waste better than landfills, but challenges remain New research has revealed some energy-from-waste facilities produce more carbon emissions than coal power plants. Read more.

The study found a major challenge was the increasing plastic content in waste which raises emissions, and not enough improvement in the energy conversion efficiency of EfW plants over time. #efw #energyfromwaste #renewables #energytransition

Plastics create big problems for energy from waste projects In a surprising finding researchers say energy from waste (EfW) facilities in some parts of the world may emit more carbon per unit of electricity output than coal-fired power plants. The researchers...
