In a joint initiative, Israel Discount Bank and the Ministry of Environmental Protection are about to begin construction of their first anaerobic organic waste recycling plant.
The innovative plant will be called Dia and will be located near the border with the Gaza Strip, between Kibbutz Gvulot and Tzeelim in the Eshkol region. Once operational, the plant will be able to transform 200.000 tons of household and agricultural waste into gas and fertilizer annually.
The project requires an investment of NIS 453 million and construction will begin in January 2025 and is expected to last two and a half years.
The plant will use innovative technology that uses microbes in sealed, oxygen-free containers to break down organic waste, generating biogas that will be fed into the power grid and produce fertilizer for agricultural use.
In addition, the design includes modern air filtration systems to prevent odours and emissions. This represents a significant change from current practice in the region, where organic waste is dumped in unregulated landfills, generating bad odours, dust and emissions of methane, a gas with a high impact on global warming.
I have found this information about garbage containers very useful.
