Food Recycling Collections
If you like a cuppa while you work but you don’t eat teabags, you’re going to need a food recycling bin.
Our food recycling service sends food waste to make renewable energy and costs less than general waste.
Food waste recycling also prevents contamination into your recycling bins such as paper, compostables, cans and plastic - and collections of food recycling are offered daily.
When food waste goes to landfill, it decomposes under uncontrolled conditions and releases methane, which is 23x more dangerous to the planet than carbon dioxide.
So by recycling food waste, you spend less and make your business greener - what's not to like?

Benefits
Why is commercial food waste collection important?
Food waste is a major problem that commercial food waste collection is trying to fix. It's estimated that between 30-50% of all food produced on the planet is never eaten.
Meanwhile, over 800 million people are starving or malnourished - just in the UK, over 1.2 million people rely on food banks.
The problem with food waste
Food waste is also really bad for the environment. Every year, an area larger than China is used to produce food that's never consumed. This means major deforestation, endangered animals and degradation of soil.
The production of this amount of food that goes to waste also accounts for 25% of all global fresh water consumption - all for nothing.
It gets worse: when all this food waste reaches the landfill, it decomposes under unsuitable conditions, generating methane gas that is 23 times more deadly than carbon dioxide.
