Bio Waste Management

Anti-Bacterial Hand Wash, Industrial Hand CleanerAn article published by Ralf Otterpohl, Matthias Grottker, and Joerg Lange discusses how different types of bio waste can be managed differently to allow for purification and redistribution when it can be done. The article suggests that grey water can be purified and used again, rain and storm water can be collected, tested and purified, and various other methods set up to help the end of line waste systems which we take for granted so often to be reused in another form and redistributed to increase productivity. The articles goes on to say that artificial fertilizers in the agriculture business are now obsolete and that there is a possibility of turning black water into alternative fertilizer production for the agriculture industry.

This presents an interesting idea. Many people think of human grey water and black water as being the end of the line and solely a waste product which cannot be reused in another form. Incidentally, artificial fertilizers lack the true biodegradability of organic waste products, and so this could be a double opportunity for completing the cycle of waste and growth. In nature, many eco systems complete a full cycle, where the death of one organism or life form feeds another and those small transitions are part of a much larger macro eco system which is self sustaining all on its own. Humans find it incredibly difficult and advanced to form an artificial life cycle or eco system from our own resources, but the above quoted article may be part of at least implementing human innovation into the natural cyclic systems.

When it comes to sewage systems, again, it is most commonly thought to be a necessary storage of and removal of waste. However, if bio waste, organic material which can be returned to the earth and used for something productive, can be utilized efficiently, this would be a major step in reducing carbon emissions, facilitating sustainable plant growth, and alleviating the buildup of unnecessary storage and contamination. If a simple, effective system can be implemented in major cities worldwide where waste is offset by useful growth in the agriculture industry, this might correct several problems at one time.

Agrochemicals Turned Earth Friendly

Fabric Conditioner, Laundry Powder, Dust SuppressorThe agriculture industry encounters a very specific problem when using artificial agrochemicals. Sometimes the plant is negative affected by the chemical directly, and sometimes, when releasing the toxin, the plant stunts the growth of neighboring plants of the same species or plants from a different species. By the way, this toxic release and the resulting growth suppression is called allelopathy. Interestingly enough, researchers are attempting to find ways to harness this toxic release and turn it into something positive. Biodegradable and healthy agrochemicals are one solution, but the plant’s release of these chemicals can potentially be used to stunt neighboring weed growth, as natural herbicides. This phenomenon is not a new occurrence. In fact, all living things take in what nutrition they can and then expel the waste or non-nutritive substances, using a variety of elimination techniques. For example, humans are capable of eliminating waste not only through urinating and defecating, but also through sweat, tears, bleeding, vomiting, and by collecting liquids or hard substances and merely pushing them through the skin. Using a plant’s natural abilities to release chemicals and impact the environment around them could be advantageous. After the chemical has been somewhat altered by the plant and then released, it’s effect upon the target weed could be used to kill it. These altered agrochemicals are called microbial secondary metabolites.

Sanjai Saxena and Akhilesh K. Pandey wrote an article published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology. This article discusses using microbial secondary metabolites in conjunction with biodegradable and eco friendly agrochemicals to achieve the desired result: turning them into environmentally friendly herbicides to destroy weeds which grow among healthy crops.

While these technologies are being improved upon, there are other technologies which are already developed and effective. There are many types of agricultural products which are safe, earth friendly, and highly effective. Envirosafe Solutions offers completely eco friendly dust suppressants and soil wetting agents for your agricultural needs.

Steps to Initiate Alternative Fuels for Our Clean Planet

Laundry Powder, Dishwasher Rinse Aid, Fabric Conditioner, Dishwasher PowderEnvironmentally speaking, alternative fuels would be part of a greater movement to use biodegradable and sustainable products all over our beautiful green earth. Experimenting with and developing alternative fuel prototypes is part of global effort and scientists are employed in just about every nation, working on making their countries more sustainable. Even so, their efforts are not always recognized until someone else, who has power, authority and a solid reputation, begins to use their alternative fuel prototypes in real engines under real life circumstances.

In America, the U.S. Navy is sailing a Spruance-class destroyer along the California coast, using a 50-50 blend of petroleum based fuel and alternative sustainable oil. This is a positive move in favor of environmental protection for several reasons.

First, military forces from developed nations worldwide already have access to technology which the civilian world catches up on in about five to eight years time. Military structures are designed to use the latest technology and they tend to lead the trend in any new effort to make our lives more enjoyable or easier. Implementing alternative fuel may be the beginning of widespread alternative fuel development and petrol prices which are unbelievably low and cost effective.

Second, militaries worldwide implement new systems and practices which are now in use today. For example, the idea of workplace drug testing would have been highly controversial in private market thirty years, when military forces began using them, but are available today in many forms and to all types of businesses. Clearly, our efforts to keep our earth healthy and safe are bettered by the example set by any military force which uses alternative fuel. The American Navy has set a goal of using completely “green” alternative fuel in all of their sailing vessels by 2016. Envirosafe Solutions applauds all use of alternative fuel in our support of a better planet.

Alternative fuels are just one part of keeping our planet sustainable. Envirosafe Solutions offers fuel treatments, corrosion treatments, radiator liquids, and heavy duty solvents, all of which are environmentally safe and biodegradable. Our business is to keep our planet clean and your business clean: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.
