Food Waste Recycling
A highly sustainable option that is great for any business that produces food waste and needs a professional, affordable collection service. Our food recycling collections have many benefits for businesses. The main reasons this service is so good are that it can be an end to smelly general waste bins; no food equals no smell. The recycling process uses 100% of the food waste put in the bins and the removal of food from your general waste service keeps its weight low. Food for thought…

Service
This service operates as a regular scheduled collection of your business food waste. Whilst ideal for larger food producers it can be used by any business that wants to boost its environmental credentials and hit those sustainability targets. Food waste is a dense material that accounts for the bulk of weight in many small and medium sized businesses bins. The waste is collected on a dedicated vehicle before being taken to an anaerobic digestion facility for processing.

Sustainability and your Food Waste Recycling Service
After collection, the food waste created by your business will be taken to an anaerobic digestion plant to be processed. These plants are essentially large stomachs that do exactly the same job as our stomachs and intestines do. The food waste is put in the digester and breaks down with the help of some friendly bacteria. Like our bodies, this produces gas and a rich solid product called digestate. The gas is burned to power turbines that create electricity used by the national grid. The digestate is rich in nutrients and nitrogen and is most used in agriculture as a fertiliser.
