What happens to my collected restaurant waste?
Recycling food waste uses innovative processes that transform the waste into valuable resources. Two of the most common methods of restaurant food waste disposal include:
- Anaerobic digestion breaks down food waste without oxygen and is the main method used by NRC and throughout the UK.
- In-vessel composting uses specific temperatures to decompose food waste in a controlled environment.
Any restaurant food waste, from coffee grounds to banana skins, can be treated in this way. It’s a cost-effective and sustainable way to efficiently manage your restaurant waste disposal.
We are committed to sustainability in everything we do, proudly diverting 99% of the restaurant waste we collect away from landfills. Of this, 43% is recycled and 56% is converted into green energy.
