Foster Environmental Ltd from Ireland is conducting a study looking at plastics in food waste. Details on the project can be found here. This research project is funded by the Irish Environmental Protection Agency.
One element of the study is to seek feedback from plant managers (not technology providers) on the efficiency of technologies in removing contamination from unprocessed feedstocks and the final compost or digestate. The survey is technology brand neutral, and we welcome your practical experience on efficiencies in removing contamination. The aim of this survey is to provide guidance overall to compost and biogas plant managers on what the technique trends are being employed by plant managers around the world that work best to remove contamination from feedstocks and from compost and digestate.
This survey is anonymous. It takes 5-6 minutes to complete. If you would like to receive a copy of the final report, please provide your email address in the final section of the survey.

The survey closes on 20th February.
Thank you in advance if you decide to fill in the survey.
There is also a webinar on 23 February on the draft conclusions of the study.
