What you should know about waste

 

Waste disposal is still an unsolved problem in many places. There are still many ways to sort waste more efficiently and reduce environmental pollution in this area. This process is very time consuming and can be a huge burden for many companies. Because every year different companies generate millions of tons of waste. This rubbish must be disposed of properly to avoid contamination.

Artificial intelligence in waste treatment and waste separation

Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a potential solution to solve the waste sorting problem. AI systems can automatically identify waste based on size, color and other characteristics and assign it to appropriate categories. This allows the waste to be sorted more efficiently.

In addition, AI can help classify hard-to-identify substances and ensure waste cycles are used optimally. For example, intelligent robot systems can identify and sort empty glass and plastic containers and send them to the correct recycling process. With the help of AI technology, companies are already beginning to increase the efficiency of waste treatment plants and determine the type of disposal. In the future, companies may be able to reuse and recycle their waste in innovative ways. This helps reduce the negative impact of litter on the environment.

In this way, AI brings immense benefits to waste management. By optimizing processes and conserving resources, we can simultaneously recycle more waste and thus reduce our environmental impact. It is therefore time that companies set the course for a sustainable future of waste management with the help of AI systems.

The separate collection obligation and the separate collection quota

The separate collection obligation means that waste must be treated and disposed of separately from other waste. It therefore indicates what percentage of the waste should be collected separately. The advantages of a separate collection are obvious. By collecting each type of waste separately, recyclable materials can be better recycled or reused in other forms. This not only saves energy and raw materials, but also conserves resources by reusing materials. Different states have different rates for separate collection. Different regions have different definitions of ‘separately collected waste’. Therefore, a minimum amount of waste is set and collected separately. Companies must therefore act according to individual collection quotas. This means that companies with high separate collection rates must ensure that sufficient separate collection containers are available.

Separate collection obligations and assignments should enable companies to support resource protection, but also to reduce costs and waste.

Food waste

Causes of food waste in gastronomy

There are many reasons why so much food is wasted. On the one hand, gastronomy often prepares more food than is actually needed, either because the quantities are difficult to estimate or because you want to pay attention to safety. On the other hand, the kitchen may have an excessive amount of food and may not be able to use it in time.

Suggested solutions to avoid food losses in gastronomy

In addition to streamlining demand planning, another way restaurateurs can use leftovers to create new dishes or serve meal packages is to get creative while doing something good at the same time. This is a great opportunity.

Separate collection obligations and assignments should enable companies to support resource protection, but also to reduce costs and waste.
