Many of the islanders once relied on fishing for their livelihoods, but fish populations collapsed decades ago, all but wiping out the industry. Even today, Bornholmers make approx 20% less on average than other Danish residents.<\/p>\n<p>Jen Hjul-Nielson, a career civil servant who came to Bornholm to run its waste facilities, felt that he was always asking the mainland for help. Hjul-Nielson came up with the \u201csolution\u201d when he learned that the island\u2019s sole incinerator would have to be closed down in 2032. He thought, \u201cWhy not get rid of trash, too?\u201d The island also wanted to become carbon neutral in its energy sector, ideally by 2025. As of October 2023, Bornholm recycled roughly 70% of its waste and received most of its electricity from renewables, with an aim to install new renewable energy in the coming 18 months.<\/p>\n<p>The town is also working on exploiting the power of \u201cbiomass,\u201d or organic waste \u2014 like agricultural crops, animal manure, and human sewage \u2014 that releases chemical energy from the sun. Bornholm\u2019s biomass plant processes approx 120,000 tons of organic waste each year, particularly from slaughtered pigs and compostable diapers, which creates enough gas to power roughly 20% of homes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/nowthisnews.com\/news\/welcome-to-bornholm-the-danish-island-with-a-goal-of-zero-waste-by-2032\">Now this is News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-427\/\">Welcome to Bornholm: The Danish Island With a Goal of Zero Waste by 2032<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[12111,3794,575,1125],"class_list":["post-118109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-bornholm","tag-denmark","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-zero-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118109"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118109\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
