What is Food Waste?
Food waste refers to any food substance, raw or cooked, which is discarded. This could range from plate scrapings and leftovers to expired products and peels from fruits and vegetables.
Businesses Producing Food Waste
Any business involved with food can generate food waste. This includes restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, bakeries, school cafeterias, hotels, hospitals, and food processing industries.
How Food Waste is Recycled
Food waste collected is sent to an anaerobic digestion or composting facility. In an anaerobic digestion facility, the food waste is broken down by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen, producing biogas that can be used for heat and electricity and a nutrient-rich biofertiliser for agriculture. In a composting facility, the food waste is decomposed naturally, producing compost that enriches soil.
