Natural beauty abounds at the Eden Project in Cornwall. They are a non-profit educational organisation whose mission is to link people to nature and the environment, as well as to one another. Individual realisations about caring for their environment can increase people’s environmental awareness and how to care for their planet. We’ll go through the goals and objectives of the charity.

Geothermal Power Plant project

This project, which is currently being developed, intends to generate geothermal energy. This energy is supposed to be pure, natural, and provide long-term energy. The initiative will be dedicated to reducing its carbon footprint, which is a measurement of how much carbon dioxide is created as a result of its operations. We’re sure you’re curious as to how this works. Once the system is up and running, cold water is injected into a borehole, which uses heat from its rock and returns it at such a temperature of about 180 degrees Celsius. The hot water is subsequently sent through a binary cycle turbine, which generates energy.

Waste and recycling at the Eden Project

Of course, when it comes to environmental protection, we all are aware of the necessity of recycling. The Eden Project has its own recycling methods and aims to bring as little garbage and plastic onto the site as possible. They accomplish this by receiving items from their suppliers in reusable boxes. They also like collaborating with the items they offer in their stores in order to reduce waste and packaging inside the product. On-site, zero plastic bottles can be sold, and food is wrapped with paper then instead of plastic. Their recycling containers are properly labelled for visitors, making it easier for them to understand which products go in which recycling bin. 50 per cent of their garbage is recycled, 19 per cent is composted, 21% generates energy from waste, and 10% is disposed of in landfills.

Compost Waste

At Eden, leftovers from the kitchen and café are composted for the site’s lovely plants. They have composted approximately 150 tonnes of trash and are quite enthusiastic about this method of waste prevention. In 2005, they had a huge composter constructed on-site, which converts the food waste into nitrogen-rich soil. Their gardeners then put this to good use in their lovely gardens.

The Eden Project is indeed a beautiful location to discover in Cornwall that is also home to an incredible nonprofit that is dedicated to educating and protecting our world! Visit to learn more about how they avoid wastage and also how you can do the same!
