To this effect, <strong>the transformation of the wet biomethanisation and biostabilisation systems for the treatment of organic waste<\/strong> is envisaged, which will provide a definitive solution to the impact of the odour.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prevention in the generation of organic waste<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At the same time, Maresme Circular is aware of the importance of <strong>raising awareness and prevention in the generation of waste<\/strong>; also with regard to the reduction of odorous pollution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>45% of the waste<\/strong> that arrives at the Maresme Integrated Waste Recovery Centre corresponds to <strong>organic matter<\/strong> that should have been thrown into the brown bin at source. In addition, 10% of this organic waste &#8211; that is, <strong>5% of the 210,000 tonnes of waste<\/strong> that arrive at the Maresme Integrated Waste Recovery Centre &#8211; <strong>is food waste<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, apart from continuing to raise awareness of the correct separation of waste at home &#8211; if citizens separate their waste properly and throw organic matter in the brown bin, it will not reach the Maresme Integral Centre for Waste Recovery and can be used to make high quality compost &#8211; this year Maresme Circular has deployed a series of <strong>actions to prevent food waste <\/strong>aimed at the public.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the <strong>Maresme Waste Prevention Plan<\/strong>, which aims to reduce waste generation in the county by <strong>26%<\/strong> by 2027, the actions consist of several free reuse <strong>cooking workshops<\/strong> &#8211; held in Vilassar de Mar, Canet de Mar and Matar\u00f3, and in the coming weeks in Alella, Calella, Cabrils, El Masnou and Tei\u00e0 &#8211; and the creation of a <strong>reuse cooking circuit in El Masnou<\/strong>, the holding of a <strong>food reuse recipe competition<\/strong>, the drafting of a Manual against food waste and various training sessions on good practices for food reuse aimed at the catering sector and school canteens, among others.<\/p>\n<p>The commitment of Maresme Circular to continue improving waste management is firm.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9761\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9761\" class=\"wp-image-9761 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/maresmecircular.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Planta-residus_Marga-Cruz-1024x665.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maresmecircular.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Planta-residus_Marga-Cruz-1024x665.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/maresmecircular.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Planta-residus_Marga-Cruz-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maresmecircular.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Planta-residus_Marga-Cruz-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maresmecircular.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Planta-residus_Marga-Cruz-1536x998.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/maresmecircular.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Planta-residus_Marga-Cruz-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/maresmecircular.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Planta-residus_Marga-Cruz-680x442.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9761\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Maresme Integral Centre for Waste Recovery \/ Marga Cruz<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Maresme Waste Consortium will install a deodorisation system in its biomethanisation plant to minimise odour impact in the short term.
