How is Food Waste Managed?

Our services guarantee that food waste will not end up in landfills, and we help you in the same way.  With the projected population increase of 9.5 billion, food waste is expected to increase dramatically. It is expected that global food demand will increase 70 percent by 2050. Therefore, there is a pressing need to address food waste on a global level as a long-term issue. Our efforts ensure that none of the food we collect ends up in landfills are supported and strengthened by our recycled efforts.  

Decomposing food produces methane gas in vast amounts, a byproduct of natural decomposition. In comparison with carbon dioxide, methane is 10 times deadlier to the atmosphere. It is produced primarily from food waste. Because of this, proper strategies for managing food waste are vital to prevent adverse consequences. Recycling food waste is the best way to accomplish this.

Food Waste Recycling Taunton

Through food waste recycling, we can reduce the amount of food waste in our landfills and businesses. Anaerobic digestion, or ecological food recycling, is a process that recycles food through anaerobic conditions. When food waste is collected from your premises and brought to recycling facilities, it is subject to breakdown by microorganisms without oxygen, a process known as anaerobic digestion. 

Food waste will be sorted at the recycling plant before being sent to anaerobic digesters. Any things that could contaminate the final product, such as plastic packaging, are removed during this pre-sorting procedure. Following that, the waste is fed into a digesting tank. In the digestion tank, natural microorganisms decompose and digest food waste.

Anaerobic digestion is only a technique of speeding up the disintegration process; all foods eventually decompose. However, outside of the controlled environment of anaerobic digestion tanks, breakdown will pollute the atmosphere even more. Anaerobic digestion also allows us to collect precious gas, which we can then use to generate electricity.
