Sydney Water and City of Sydney Council have innovative trials to re-purpose our food waste resource into energy and fertiliser. Sydney Water is producing bio-electricity and gas. City of Sydney are powering homes and producing fertiliser for gardens and farms. At the same time, they are lowering their emissions and saving valuable resources. These are innovative and successful projects making a substantial positive impact.
