Discard
One person's trash is another person's gold
Thousands of businesses produce liquid waste that then must be disposed of in a responsible, environmentally friendly manner. What better way to be green than to take discarded waste and turn it into organic fuel for a gasoline-thirsty world? The MicroFueler needs feedstock -- "green juice" -- in order to complete the transition of biomass or waste into ethanol. And the raw materials for this feedstock are everywhere.
Here are some examples of viable discarded waste that can be processed into feedstock for the MicroFueler:
- Breweries, distilleries, and wineries -- beverage producers -- dispose of hundreds of thousands of gallons of reusable waste every week
- Products that are past their shelf life -- from fruit to soda to juice to liquor -- are pulled from store shelves daily and thrown away; GreenHouse even recycles all of the containers
- Unpredictable weather systems destroy millions of dollars of fruit on the tree every year -- to us, that's feedstock
As a premier provider of feedstock for the MicroFueler, GreenHouse has partnered with some of the most forward-thinking beverage producers worldwide to reclaim their discarded products for processing.
Some facts about waste
- The United States generates approximately 55 billion gallons of liquid waste per year -- much of this can be used as feedstock for the MicroFueler
- When improperly handled and disposed of, liquid wastes pose a serious threat to human health and the environment; they can contaminate watersheds, pollute ground water, and local sources of drinking water
