The management of selective waste sorting is a major issue for the preservation of the environment both in collective catering (school canteen, company catering, etc.) but of course in out-of-home catering in restaurants, fast food, hotels ...
Rossignol, a French manufacturer , offers
professional solutions for sorting bio-waste with the
Cubatri or Trirok bins.
Who is concerned ? Since
January 1, 2024 , all bio-waste and used oils generated by individuals, professionals and communities must be collected separately
What is Biowaste? Biowaste, also called organic waste, includes:
Waste from the maintenance of green spaces
Kitchen and table waste (DCT)
Waste from the food industry
Among the different categories of waste to be sorted, bio-waste occupies an important place, particularly in catering. It is therefore essential to set up a selective sorting system for bio-waste to separate it from
reusable tableware and
disposable napkins . This practice not only
reduces the quantity of waste destined
for landfill , but also
recycles this
organic waste by transforming it into
compost or energy . It is therefore important to sort and implement selective sorting of bio-waste in
compliance with the AGEC law .
Why sort biowaste?
Selective sorting of bio-waste has numerous advantages for the environment and society. Here are some reasons why it is important to sort biowaste:
Reduction of waste destined for landfill Selective sorting of bio-waste helps reduce the quantity of waste destined for landfill. By
selectively sorting organic waste from other waste, we prevent it from ending up in landfills where it produces methane, a greenhouse gas that is particularly harmful to the climate. By recovering this food waste, we also limit the use of natural resources to produce compost or energy. We also avoid the use of
plastic trash bags which do not degrade easily.
Valorization of biowaste Biowaste can be recycled in different ways. They can be transformed into compost, which is a natural fertilizer used in agriculture. Compost helps nourish the soil and promote plant growth in a natural way. Biowaste can also be used to produce energy, notably by methanization. Anaerobic digestion involves transforming biowaste into biogas, which can then be used to produce electricity and heat.
Reduction of carbon footprint By sorting bio-waste with the Cubatri Rossignol trash can range, we help reduce the carbon footprint linked to their management. Indeed, the transport and burial of waste generates greenhouse gas emissions. By recovering bio-waste locally, we limit travel and therefore CO2 emissions. Additionally, compost production helps store carbon in the soil, which helps mitigate climate change.
Environmental awareness The selective sorting of bio-waste is also an opportunity to raise citizens' awareness of the importance of the environment and the preservation of natural resources. By understanding the impact of their sorting on the environment, individuals are more likely to change their consumption and waste production habits.
