Food waste includes peels, cutting waste and mouldy products. As much as 94% of this waste can be recycled into new raw materials, but only if it is collected separately. Post-separation of food waste is difficult. When collected separately, food waste can easily be converted into biogas and compost. Simple. Sustainable. Effective.
What happens to my food waste?
Collected food waste is taken to a digester and heated to remove harmful bacteria. During the digestion process, a biological decomposition process biogas is produced. This is a renewable energy source. The remaining material is used as valuable fertiliser or as insect feed.
