The circular water economy

Eco Clarity Circular Water Economy
The recent report by WSP and the UK Water Partnership highlights the untapped potential of a circular water economy and emphasises the need for innovative solutions to resource recovery. Fat, oil and grease (FOG) is one such resource that holds immense potential for transforming wastewater management.
At EcoClarity, we’re at the forefront of this shift, turning FOG waste into renewable biofuels, drastically reducing sewer blockages, and contributing to carbon savings. The UK has the opportunity to follow the lead of pioneering nations like the Netherlands, where circular water systems are driving sustainability and economic growth.
FOG represents a critical part of the solution:
  • Prevents sewer clogs, cutting maintenance costs.
  • Generates biodiesel feedstock, supporting the transition to renewable fuel.
  • Demonstrates how waste can become a valuable resource in the circular economy.
By integrating FOG recovery into the broader circular water framework, we can create new market opportunities, reduce carbon footprints, and build resilient systems that align with the UK’s net-zero goals.
Let’s not just recycle. Let’s regenerate. Collaboration between businesses, water companies and innovators is key. Together, we can make the UK a leader in sustainable water management.

Sustainability Champion: Clearway Environmental

At EcoClarity, we’re passionate about partnering with local businesses to drive positive environmental change. Today, we’re excited to spotlight Clearway Environmental, a Hull-based company making a significant impact in sustainable waste management. Clearway has shown a strong commitment to reducing their carbon footprint by responsibly managing fat, oil, and grease (FOG) waste with us.

 

Here’s the impact Clearway achieved in October

  • By managing FOG waste sustainably, Clearway prevented nearly 5,500 kg of CO2 from entering the atmosphere. That’s equivalent to planting 90 new trees and letting them grow for 10 years, or avoiding the emissions of nearly 14,000 miles in an average petrol-fuelled car on Hull’s roads.
  • Clearway went beyond simple disposal by converting over two tonnes of FOG waste into biodiesel feedstock. This biodiesel produces up to 87% less carbon than traditional fossil fuels, supporting the global push for cleaner energy alternatives.

Strength in local partnerships

As two Hull-based companies, EcoClarity and Clearway Environmental share a vision for our city’s future: a cleaner, greener Hull. Working together on sustainable waste management allows us to contribute to Hull’s environmental goals and explore how local businesses can support each other in building a circular economy. By transforming waste into a resource, we’re taking small but meaningful steps toward closing the loop on waste management and creating lasting value for the community.

Supporting Unblocktober 2024

EcoClarity Kitchen Waste Disposal

EcoClarity is proud to support Unblocktober, the UK’s annual month-long campaign dedicated to improving the health of our drains and environment. The campaign encourages individuals and businesses to adopt better waste management habits, with a particular focus on preventing harmful substances like fat, oil and grease (FOG) from entering our drainage systems.

FOG can accumulate in sewers, leading to challenges such as blockages and “fatbergs.” However, by implementing effective FOG management and sustainable disposal, businesses can protect their operations and contribute to environmental protection by preventing this waste from entering sewers and converting it into valuable resources.

Throughout Unblocktober, we are engaging with businesses and communities to highlight the importance of responsible FOG disposal. With the right practices, we can prevent blockages, protect our waterways, and contribute to a more sustainable future.

We encourage everyone to participate in Unblocktober and discover how small changes can make a big difference.

Visit the Unblocktober website to learn more about the campaign and how you can get involved.
