Sainsbury powers store from biowaste.

BBC News - Sainsbury's store powered by food waste

Two questions.

How can there possibly be so much wasted food as to allow a store to power itself?

Does an OM648 have sufficient compression to ignite a Walls Cumberland sausage or will it need a Yadgar Lamb Balti?

Have you tasted sainsbury's "food" ?

Just shows how innaccuracies can possibly creep in. Read the Guardian article and you will find that its the waste food from ALL Sainsburies stores that goes to the bio- reclamation plant to power ONE store. Sainsbury?s store to be powered solely by food waste | Environment | theguardian.com

Typical media, never let the facts get in the way of a good story

I'm not surprised as a lot of the stuff classed as food by the supermarkets is indeed $h1te in the first place

Are many inaccuracies possibly in the eyes/ears of the reader/listener? I saw the report on TV this morning and didn't get any impression that the bio energy for that store came solely from its own food waste. Did anyone actually report that?

I may have missed it because I was being so distracted by the BBC's need to show lots of shots of lighting units (both off and on) for those viewers who didn't know what power was, and then a few shots of waste food being put in the bin for those struggling with the concept!

The thing that annoys me is the BOGOF, why not just sell the item at half the price, then as sometimes happens the second item wouldn't go to waste as it hasn't been used before it goes off.
