🎃 Visit to Langage Farm BioDigester

Posted 2 years ago by the Penpol Pumpkins

Today was very exciting – a trip to Langage Farm (just outside of Plymouth) to meet Ewen McClelland for a guided tour of their Food Waste Recycling facility.  We learnt where the food waste comes from and saw it’s journey from being unloaded from the back of a lorry (in the smelliest room in the world!) right through to becoming clean Methane Gas which is then used to power two generators to create electricity.

We got to explore the whole processing plant, including standing on top of a giant tank which contained many, many tonnes of biodegrading food waste!
