Did you know? Over a year the average family throws away £680 worth of food, enough to cover an average annual utility bill
A huge amount of food get's thrown away every year, 8.3 million tonns of it in fact from households alone and that's not mentioning the business! Most of it end's up in landfill sites where it rots and releases methane damaging the environment even further. Throwing away food is also a huge waste of carbon if you add up the CO2 cost of the water and packaging used up in its production, transportation and storage and saved it, it would be the same as taking 25% of the cars in the UK off the road.
Helping reduce food sent to Landfill...
Landfill space is diminishing putting pressure on business and homes to divert food waste towards recycling or renewable energy. Wastecycle can provide a full food waste segregated collection service. Food waste the we collect is directed to either a fully permitted in-vessel composting or anerobic digestion facility where it is used to produce a soil improver product to PAS100 standard and recover energy.
Removing food from your waste stream may also save money in processing costs for the remainder of your recycled waste so you can reduce carbon, increase recycling rates and reduce overall waste.
