It would be great if the fellow making the coconut logs could use biodegradable packaging rather than plastic clamshells. I’m impressed with the ingenuity behind all of these examples. Best to them for much success.
Unfortunately for many, when you have the money/resources to not have to put in effort, most people will opt for money over effort. Necessity is the mother of invention.
That was my thought too - there are too many systems in place that CAUSE this excessive waste, and all in the interests of making excessive amounts of profit. We need to 'convince' the greedy in the upper parts of the food production chain to alter their systems to prevent such waste, we also need to make the consumers more aware and for them to stop adding to the problem, so they need to be far more selective with what they buy and where it's sourced. The greedy at the top of the food manufacturing chain are the main problem though.
Yeah, if half of all food is discarded in the US, then why not solve the problem by tackling the root cause of over production? Thats obviously a very simplistic way to look at it, but we would have less of a waste problem, if there was less STUFF to begin with.
Using food more efficiently would be much better and a more efficient expenditure of money. It would reduce the amount of rainforest being lost to agricultural expansion.
In india it happens in many places that the sellers would throw the food away rather than lowering the price or giving the poor. Its still good that it gives benefit in different way but thats not what is needed at the moment.
BIOT looks really interesting when it is dry. I like the cracks in the final product. It is very rustic and natural looking & the cracks make it resemble a charred log from a fire.
Cost too much to transport back home? So, what, are they just going to live in the city and not go back home? With people starving, it's such a waste. It can be dried, fermented, or canned. These people are creative.
Instead of reducing food production in order to reduce food waste, I think it would be better to utilize waste food for biomass power generation and fertilizer. Then we can absorb carbon dioxide and nitrogen from the atmosphere through food production, so I think it will be a sustainable cycle.
Wow! Such great stories! I have so much respect for those self-made inventors who don't just find opportunities to make some money, but they actually strive to make all our lives better and cleaner. Outstanding video. Thank you.
Jose is pretty cool. I'm sure there are better usage with all that pumace, but anything from "waste" to usage, amazing. Especially when it reduces the usage of natural resources.
The Indian market food "recyclers" should harvest and sell the seeds. I constantly harvest seeds from my produce all year round. Easy to dry and store. Come spring, I don't spend a penny on buying seeds. Imagine if I turned THAT into a business !?!
I wonder if Jose in Argentina would make a cement pad that would get hot and possibly dry the apple pumice a little quicker. Next step would be to get a few used solar panels and run fans to dry it even further.
I like to add my two cents after watching this video. I have heard about the waste coming out of those huge pork farms. Can they pump those bio-waste out and run them into some kind of methane gas recovery system and turn into usable energy? Right now, it seems like nobody is doing anything about that!!
"Cost" it needs to be viable and cheap before anyone will invest. Like they said bio gass is WAY more expensive and in a world that already struggles for energy prices it would pungle people into a type of poverty.
Absolutely. The biogas system was first introduced in cattle farms where they collected the cow manure. There is village called Varadarajapuram, which lost almost all of its cultivable land with urbanization and the cow manure which didn't have anywhere to go started being problem, and they then converted it into a biogas electricity plant to power their streets
@@kyrusinek That's a huge misconception. There is a tiny biogas composter in our home itself and we get a part of our cooking gas from our own food scraps. If it's giving returns and cutting cost us with just a small household's food scraps, imagine how much more can be done with a centralized plant. There is even a city bus service running solely on biogas generated from that city's bio waste. Its not an exclusive source and it can be done with considerably less expensive and uncomplicated tech, so their is very little scope for monopolizing or artificial price gouging. So the real reason most countries are not doing it is just lobbying. It's a threat to the market share of fossil fuel industry.
@@aleenaprasannan2146 Private biogas composters are not the same as industrial ones. Your own personal composter is running on waste you eventually would have produced anyway and is a means of recycling money spent by your household. An industrial composter has to source their waste from other businesses, and the cost depends on the stability of these sources as well as the price of vehicles and the depreciation for transporting, as well as the fixed costs of skilled employees and the facility itself. On top of that, the industrial composter has to allocate costs associated with distribution, which your personal one does not, because you use it as it is made within your own home. So if the costs to sell are too high, people won't buy, and if people don't buy, the cost per unit of biogas becomes even higher, until it reaches a point where biogas production is no longer viable. The only way biogas can hit that critical mass and bring price down naturally for everyone is if there are laws in place banning fossil fuels and immediately raising costs for everyone, or governments subsidizing the sale or purchase of biogas with tax money.
@@aleenaprasannan2146 They "literally" say it costs far more than fossil fuels in the video, hense why its slow to adopt. The food scraps my family throw away is next to nothing due to it becoming pet feed. Might get a small amount of cooking gas, put to heat home, power a computer etc? No... I am glad it works for you but this wont everywhere. I do think it has great potential in nations that produce and export food but less so in nations that import food
The coconut one is actually really good since the ammount of buko juice we drink here in my country if they made it a bit more cheaper or make a machine that people at home can make i think it would help trees
Governments should be obligated to buy that waste fuel their society creates and find more effective means to use the fuel adequately for the people they govern
I’ve been composting for 6 years now , and there’s nothing easier to do. Only bought a large composter , putting on my garden . And me and my family of 5 only throw out one small Bag of kitchen waste per week , the rest gives me this beautiful soil year in year out .
As a mozambican living on a 3rd world country that consumes tons of coconut and where more than 90% of the population uses wood charcoal I am thrilled with the ideia of turning coconut shields into bio charcoal. What's worrying me is the price. But it is still an excellent ideia to invest on and still profit.
Inspiring if every single person in the entire world were like them i'm quite sure everything would different, and better for every one we have a lot of things to learn from those people
In the world of advanced science & technology, we believe there can be so many amazing innovations such as these ones, we just love how individuals can make such a difference. We would love to add this to one of our playlists to inspire our audience. -Team PlanetCents
The coconut briquettes are cool and can work but when I saw it in plastic packaging is just stumped me, why not wrap it in something also biodegradable,
The bio char from waste products is genius, Henry ford did it will all the wood millings from making wheels at this factories, there should be no reason these techniques can't be used the world over on a larger scale. No reason to clear cut original old growth forests to make room for monoculture tree farms for bio fuel.
😌All those vegetables and herbs are used to make food for the zoo animals in peats for dry food and the juice from the vegetables and fruits are useful to keep the animals healthy. The bread and tortillas that are discarded are also considered grains for animals such as cows, pigs, and birds. disposable meats are good and healthy for dogs and cats as long as they are in good condition😊
For the coconut guy, why use plastic to wrap it and it says it much costly than the wood. Maybe use coconut product to wrap it like the sticks between the leaves to make a basket, or other biodegradable products.
In the biogas plant volatile organic sulfides, such as tiols and tioethers are produced. How do they capture these compounds to avoid sulfuric acid gases in atmosphere during the combustion of biogas?
Since biogas is not “easy money” for most countries’ leaders or business people, it’s not easy to scale. It’s difficult to get investors’ interest by showing how important it is for other people. I wish people with the resources could be as concerned about the whole world as they are about their own world.
Well the charcoal briquette has less smoke because it has already gone during the making process, you know, burning the coconuts has emitted a lot of smoke so it doesn't really help the environment.
@@VinegarPotato You went vegan to avoid food waste or to compost food? As far as food waste goes, sorry but vegans directly subsidise meat eaters. The waste from food products as a whole is more than the amount of human edible grain that they eat. Veganism as a diet/belief system would have more waste overall.
@@Simon-dm8zv Two things, one grass is the majority of what is eaten, this is by far from non arable land for beef cows, pork is of course different so that means not all meat is the same, nothing is cleaner than self fertilised, weather irrigated, non arable land produce and this is the majority of their lives. sheep, goats etc the same. 2nd, veganism needs to replace the whole cow, the fat that goes into products vegans use everyday, the sinew etc that goes into pet food, then of course bones and leather needs to be replaced. So if we don't do anything to the land, mainly because we can't because as I say, non arable, if we don't fertilise it and we don't irrigate it then how can you say it is more efficient? Efficiency doesn't mean ignoring all we get, taking roughly 50% of the animal and then comparing the rest on a weight basis ie" a kilo of meat versus a kilo of wheat. A kilo of meat is going to by far have better nutrition. Lumping all it takes to grow the animal onto the meat portion, ignoring all we get and then not realising what it takes to grow other food has its issues. Synthetic fertilisers, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, many more vehicles needed in the field, veganism being cleaner or more efficient is a myth, if 3% of the population are vegans it would mean a 3500% increase in numbers to get everybody vegan, the worlds insects can barely handle the insecticides we use now. What has become more efficient is chicken/pig/fish farming because of the waste from plant foods. Ex vegan here, any arguments you are going to use, I've probably used them myself but sorry veganism is not what it is cracked up to be as it is based on half truths.
@@antonyjh1234 Nope, that is not how it works. Livestock does not mainly eat grass. Massive amounts of land are used solely for corn and soy production for animal feed. Animal fertilizer is not required to successfully produce crops. Look up vegan organic agriculture. But even if synthetic fertilizer is used, the vegan scenario is still far more favorable. I repeat: if everybody would go vegan, the world would require LESS arable land.

the briquettes, though not made from the tree themselves, they are made of wood, so him saying "they are not produced from wood" isn't entirely true. They still turn them into charcoal, which btw, to do so, you need more wood than the wood burned, i wonder if they use normal coal, it didnt look like the briquettes when they where firing, which means they are burning a lot of coal per day. and if they want to expand, thats not good for the environment.
Those tofu producers have got to get it in their heads that they are not to dump waste directly into the rivers. Duh! Indonesia, along with other countries in Indochina, have a terrible track record when it comes to pollution. All of their rivers are chemically polluted, and have piles of trash up and down their rivers.
It's irony when you trying to stop/reduce the deforestation by making alternative brickets, when peoples that actually doing deforestation never have any intention to stop at all.
Why haven't they tapped other waste streams such as animal and human waste, feces? Or, collected food waste, from all sources, for conversion to bio-gas? That would greatly increase the supply of bio-gas.
Recycling is in the stone age. "Why do companies bring products to market without thinking how it is recyclable?" One should think nowadays this is self-explanatory and state-of-the-art.
i have a different question, do you know of anyone in Canada that would help fund a recycling venture? I run a service (ill disclose in PM if need be) that generates a lot of rubber waste and various other materials.
I live in PR and i think i have seen all these videos about 3 times and they inspire me to do something here I just don't know how... its been 4 years and im no where close. when i tell people about it they just look at me and usually say good luck and thats as far as they all get
I was very sad watching the section about the Hyderabad market. The vegetables are clearly edible. It would be cheaper and more moral to give the food away instead of making biogas!
Find a way to make them cheaper. They're from food waste. I know the cost of converting them to fuel is expensive but they should be cheaper than that of non renewable energy supply.
If the vegetable biogas material was used like Argentinian biologs , could India get more energy out than they get just from gas ? Biologs are used more like wood or coal , so I wonder the energy difference.
It may get out more energy but it's not better. Because Methane burns clean plus most of the carbon is deposited back into the soil through composting, enriching the soil and providing nutrients to the plants. So it overall has a better carbon cycle.
Vegetable waste will be less if the shops lower the prices so that more people can afford it. Restaurants should serve less, adopting the prices accordingly.
No. The question isn't "What to do with this stuff going to the landfill", it's "WHY is all this unsold produce going into the landfill?" 10 metric tons of food feeds more than the 800 people at a food-kitchen (bring on a few volunteers from among the recipients to process off inedible parts like tomato calyxes and such, and labor won't be an issue -labor paid with nutritional food for their whole family). Burning off all of that energy in an incinerator or biogas process is still wasteful when there are far more efficient fuels for electricity than burning unsold onions. Humans can't eat the output of many of the renewable energies; but they can eat onions. And beets. And daikon radishes. I'd rather eat a safely processed slurry of unsold food for cheap/free than know that my electricity is (in very small part) being fueled by the waste generated by inefficiencies in the global food system. Burning agricultural material, even after being digested into combustible gases, still adds more carbon than simply turning it into compost - or letting humans turn it into manure ("night soil" being another issue that needs to be addressed). Fuel for thought...
Commented too soon. If the by-product of a bio-gas digester is basically compost/fertilizer, than that's actually better than traditional compost as I was brought up with, which still releases greenhouse gases, even if at a much lower rate than burning it outright. And if the bio-gas combusts cleanly...

In the eastern hemisphere (largely), people will wash the rear with water after using the loo. In the westernized countries and (lack of) culture, people will use toilet paper instead of washing their rear. The toilet paper becomes underground forest that they are proud of.
"10 tons of food goes unsold everyday" hear me out. Make less food? That. Yea that sounds like a solution to your waste problem. Or hear me out. We send it to the ones starving because they don't go whare the food is.
The coconut guy is smart. Hope he does well in life. Sad he has gone through so much.
through
The heat and pressure is what makes diamonds tho
Beautifully said
Yeeep he presented himself better than Indians turning wasted food into more expensive gas
Wishing him all the best, he’s got a bright future ahead despite the hardships.
It would be great if the fellow making the coconut logs could use biodegradable packaging rather than plastic clamshells. I’m impressed with the ingenuity behind all of these examples. Best to them for much success.
The developing world does more for waste management and sustainability than most developed countries do
You said it.

Necessity is the mother of invention.
thats not true at all.
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. The West does more than anywhere else on the planet. Stop telling yourself b.s.
While its great to see food not entirely go to waste but at the same time sad to see it go to waste.

Well overproduction is better than the opposite. And in those countries its hard to expand the Life of food.
@@DrawsRene they said the US tosses half of its food out. That seems like a problem.
Shut Up City boy ... You only know " feel Sorry " and eat prepared food ... I Hope you don't waste food un your home...
Wish more countries would start this, you’d think they would with how much environmental preservation has increased in recent years.
Great Use the food waste so you don't have to find a better way to redistribute the food supply.😅
Using food more efficiently would be much better and a more efficient expenditure of money. It would reduce the amount of rainforest being lost to agricultural expansion.
Except it would plunge millions into fuel poverty. Untill renewable or biogass becomes cheaper than usual gas it simply wont work.
@@sownheard If crops all come in at once and are local then how do you compete when you have to transport it with an added cost?
Yes
In india it happens in many places that the sellers would throw the food away rather than lowering the price or giving the poor. Its still good that it gives benefit in different way but thats not what is needed at the moment.

i have a different question, do you know of anyone in Canada that would help fund a recycling venture? I run a service (ill disclose in PM if need be) that generates a lot of rubber waste and various other materials.
Like that movie back to the future

The apple and pear waste, why not give the pear and Apple to those who are hungry.
They are rancid and not unhygienic
I live in PR and i think i have seen all these videos about 3 times and they inspire me to do something here I just don't know how... its been 4 years and im no where close. when i tell people about it they just look at me and usually say good luck and thats as far as they all get
I was very sad watching the section about the Hyderabad market. The vegetables are clearly edible. It would be cheaper and more moral to give the food away instead of making biogas!
Consider the different ways after feeding the poor/malnourished
Methane is a big issue, but don't forget about the tire and forest fires.
Find a way to make them cheaper. They're from food waste. I know the cost of converting them to fuel is expensive but they should be cheaper than that of non renewable energy supply.
All those vegetables and herbs are used to make food for the zoo animals or shelters
If the vegetable biogas material was used like Argentinian biologs , could India get more energy out than they get just from gas ?
Biologs are used more like wood or coal , so I wonder the energy difference.
It's too humid in India for it to dry quickly and buogas slurry needs more water
It may get out more energy but it's not better. Because Methane burns clean plus most of the carbon is deposited back into the soil through composting, enriching the soil and providing nutrients to the plants. So it overall has a better carbon cycle.
Vegetable waste will be less if the shops lower the prices so that more people can afford it.
Restaurants should serve less, adopting the prices accordingly.
No. The question isn't "What to do with this stuff going to the landfill", it's "WHY is all this unsold produce going into the landfill?"
10 metric tons of food feeds more than the 800 people at a food-kitchen (bring on a few volunteers from among the recipients to process off inedible parts like tomato calyxes and such, and labor won't be an issue -labor paid with nutritional food for their whole family). Burning off all of that energy in an incinerator or biogas process is still wasteful when there are far more efficient fuels for electricity than burning unsold onions. Humans can't eat the output of many of the renewable energies; but they can eat onions. And beets. And daikon radishes. I'd rather eat a safely processed slurry of unsold food for cheap/free than know that my electricity is (in very small part) being fueled by the waste generated by inefficiencies in the global food system. Burning agricultural material, even after being digested into combustible gases, still adds more carbon than simply turning it into compost - or letting humans turn it into manure ("night soil" being another issue that needs to be addressed).
Fuel for thought...
Commented too soon. If the by-product of a bio-gas digester is basically compost/fertilizer, than that's actually better than traditional compost as I was brought up with, which still releases greenhouse gases, even if at a much lower rate than burning it outright. And if the bio-gas combusts cleanly...
Thank you for trying to help...i hated the bombings of 2012

Way Cool
America should do it.
It's funny how all this stuff was in Mother Earth News, back in the 70s, but everyone ignored it for 50 frikkin' years.
Real incidents. Food scraps increasing day by day for cause as well itseems.

So much poverty in India why can't they distribute to poor
In the eastern hemisphere (largely), people will wash the rear with water after using the loo.
In the westernized countries and (lack of) culture, people will use toilet paper instead of washing their rear. The toilet paper becomes underground forest that they are proud of.
Cool video.

"10 tons of food goes unsold everyday" hear me out. Make less food? That. Yea that sounds like a solution to your waste problem. Or hear me out. We send it to the ones starving because they don't go whare the food is.
One of my family member is doing this but just with pip poo.
