Decentralized Waste to Energy plants towards a circular economy
The rapid increase in the generation of municipal solid waste is exerting considerable pressure on the conventional centralised MSW management system, and is resulting in a move towards a more decentralised system with smaller capacity waste treatment facilities. Smaller EfW integrated at different levels of the urban environment minimise the transportation of waste and ensure the local benefit is maximised from community waste. In this webinar, we will learn how you can start to make this move and the benefits. The UK must no longer simply bury or export the waste problem. Instead, as other European economies do, it should treat residual waste as a valuable resource to produce lower carbon heat and energy, alongside a focus on achieving important recycling targets and investing in innovative recycling technology. In this webinar, in partnership with Turboden, we will discuss: Supporting the move to a low carbon and circular economy – The role of decentralised WTE plants The UK RDF market and the need to increase internal EfW capacity WTE solutions based on ORC technology Case studies and lessons learnt so far

Circular Economy Fintech Diem Secures $5.5M via Seed Round led by Fasanara Capital
UK-based Diem, a startup that aims to combine traditional banking with a service that allows users to sell their unwanted items to the company, has secured $5.5 million in capital via a seed round that was led by Fasanara Capital. Diem provides a user account, a Visa debit card, and financial management tools. However the Fintech firm says it’s differentiating itself from other service providers with its “cash out” feature that lets clients acquire instant credit for unwanted items. Clients may use the Diem app to get an estimate or valuation for their unwanted items such as books, clothing, electronics in “nanoseconds.” If clients decide to sell some goods, then Diem will purchase them directly and will provide instant credit (deposited quickly to their accounts).
