Food Manufacturing Site Recycling Solutions
The food manufacturing industry uses tonnes of protective equipment each year. Their composition makes them incredibly hard to recycle through local councils, so gloves, masks etc. usually end up in landfills. Where landfill-free options do exist, PPE is typically incinerated (aka recovery or waste-to-energy) due to contamination concerns; where incinerators can emit more CO₂ (per megawatt-hour) than coal, natural gas or oil-fired power plants.
