Source Separation of Food Waste

Therefore, if food waste is kept source separate, a junk automobile and a trash bin present themselves to the ESR dense medium separators in roughly the same manner. If a complete set of ESR separators can process the non-ferrous residue of as many as 750 automobiles per hour, the same phenomenal tonnages are easily accomplished with respect to MSW. A single set of ESR separators could handle the entirety of the MSW stream of any large US, Japanese or European city. Once food waste is kept source separate and recycled at its source, the remainder of the garbage bin can pass through the ESR separation process with the ease and efficiency of an automobile, a television set or an outdated computer. Once food waste is kept source separate and recycled at its source, it is easy to imagine a world in which landfills are completely eliminated.
