新西兰新闻秘书处7月22日消息,环境部长大卫·帕克今天宣布,政府正在资助五个项目,以帮助解决日益严重的食物浪费问题。 “新西兰家庭每年扔掉近30万吨粮食,其中一半仍然可以食用。通过支持这些举措,我们正在采取措施减少这个问题″大卫帕克说。 政府今年将透过废物最小化基金资助两个食物废物及三个堆肥项目。 · KiwiHarvest 的三个新网站将获得 153,000纽币。· 基督城的0800饥饿部将收到67 012纽币,以取代用于食品救援行动的15岁送货车。· 社区堆肥有限公司将获得92,250纽币,以扩大目前在纳尔逊的堆肥业务。· 在北国运营的CBEC(社区商业和环境中心)生态解决方案将获得40万纽币,以安装12个社区堆肥中心和1,200个家庭堆肥系统。· 纳皮尔的 BioRich 有限公司将获得 85 万纽币,以扩大霍克湾现有的堆肥业务”。 大卫·帕克说: “我们继续支持有机废物项目,以实现减排目标。这是我们目前2021年融资回合的投资信号之一,进一步申请仍在考虑中″。”为了解决食物浪费问题,我们需要研究如何重新分配或再利用可食用的剩余食物,以及如何从垃圾填埋场转移不可食用的食物。这些项目都支持。通过资助此类项目,我们正在向低废物、低排放的循环经济迈进”。 项目详情: KiwiHarvest 是一个全国性的食品救援组织,与食品企业合作,包括超市、批发商、生产商、咖啡馆、餐馆和酒店,以拯救他们无法销售的食品。这是重新分配给有需要的人。 大卫·帕克说:”我们正在支持KiwiHarvest的Whakaraki项目,该项目允许基维哈维斯特扩大其在达尼丁、皇后镇和奥克兰北岸的食品收集点。20年来,0800饥饿部为基督城需要帮助的人民提供了粮食救援和支持。 它有一大群志愿者,但0800的面包车阻碍了行动。他们快要结束生命了,是手动驾驶车辆。因此,许多习惯于驾驶自动面包车的志愿者无法驾驶它们″。 大卫·帕克说:”在科维德-19、基督城最近的洪水和地震等危机时期,0800的服务受到了欢迎,需求也越来越大。纳尔逊社区堆肥有限公司已经建造并运营了船内商业堆肥机-bEartha,以满足纳尔逊对商业有机废物处理的高需求。 大卫·帕克说:”这笔新资金将帮助他们再建一座BEartha,并将产能每年增加156吨至350吨。北国社区商业与环境中心(CBEC)是一家社区企业,在北国经营着一系列环境项目。通过这笔赠款,CBEC 为期三年的项目将在北国建立 12 个社区堆肥收集中心,能够处理来自当地企业和组织的多达 100 吨废物″。 “该项目还从家庭角度解决食品浪费问题,在项目结束时,为预计有 1,200 户家庭提供为期 8 周的社区堆肥回收计划和堆肥系统比奥里奇, HAwke 湾将扩大其现有的堆肥设施,将年产能从 50,000 吨增加到 62,000 吨。该项目将生产有机堆肥,用于霍克湾、吉斯伯恩湾和丰盛湾″。 大卫·帕克还说:”BioRich项目将解决由于世界毛皮市场崩溃而储存的羔羊皮的问题,以及纳皮尔和黑斯廷斯周围产生的大量木材废物,这些垃圾由于空气质量控制而无法燃烧″。
22 July 2021Funding for five projects to reduce food waste
The Government is funding five projects to help address the growing problem of food waste, Environment Minister David Parker announced today. “New Zealand households throw away nearly 300,000 tonnes of food every year, half of which could still be eaten. By supporting these initiatives, we’re taking steps to reduce this problem,” David Parker said.The Government will fund two food waste and three compost projects this year through the Waste Minimisation Fund. · KiwiHarvest will receive $153,000 for its three new sites.· 0800 Hungry Ministries in Christchurch will receive $67,012 to replace 15-year-old delivery vans used in their food rescue operations.· Community Compost Ltd will receive $92,250 to expand current composting operations in Nelson.· CBEC (Community Business and Environment Centre) EcoSolutions that operates in Northland will receive $400,000 to install 12 community composting hubs and 1,200 home composting systems.· BioRich Limited in Napier will receive $850,000 to expand existing composting operations in Hawke’s Bay. “We continue to support organic waste projects to meet emissions reductions targets. It is one of our investment signals for the current 2021 funding round and further applications are still under consideration,” David Parker said. “To address food waste, we need to look into ways of redistributing or reusing edible surplus food, as well as ways to divert inedible food from landfill. These projects support both. “By funding such projects we’re making strides towards a low waste, low emissions circular economy.” Project details: KiwiHarvest is a national food rescue organisation that works with food businesses, including supermarkets, wholesalers, producers, cafes, restaurants, and hotels, to rescue the food that they are not able to sell. This is redistributed to people in need. “We are supporting KiwiHarvest’s Project Whakaraki, which has allowed KiwiHarvest to expand its food collection sites in Dunedin, Queenstown and the North Shore of Auckland,” David Parker said. 0800 Hungry Ministries have provided food rescue and support for Christchurch’s people in need for 20 years. It has a large group of volunteers, but 0800’s vans were holding back operations. They were nearing the end of their life and are manual drive vehicles. So, many of the volunteers who were used to driving automatic vans were not able to drive them , “0800’s services have been well received and in greater demand during crisis times like Covid-19, Christchurch’s recent flooding and the earthquakes,” David Parker said. Community Compost Ltd, Nelson has built and operated in-vessel commercial composting machine – bEartha to address the high demand in Nelson for commercial organic waste processing. “This new funding will help them build another bEartha and expand their capacity by 156 tonnes to 350 tonnes a year,” David Parker said. Community Business & Environment Centre (CBEC), Northland is a community enterprise operating a range of environmental programmes across Northland. “With this grant, CBEC three-year project will set up 12 community compost collection hubs across Northland capable of processing up to 100 tonnes of waste from local businesses and organisations. “The project also tackles food waste from a household perspective, by providing eight-week community compost recycling programmes and composting systems to an expected 1,200 households by the end of the project,” David Parker said
Biorich, Hawke’s Bay will expand their existing composting facility to increase their annual capacity from 50,000 tonnes to 62,000 tonnes a year. The project will produce organic compost for use in Hawke’s Bay, Gisborne and Bay of Plenty.
“The BioRich project will address the issues of stockpiled lambs’ skins due to a collapse in the world pelt market, and the large volume of wood waste generated around Napier and Hastings that cannot be burnt because of air quality controls,” David Parker said.
