With over 60 years’ expertise in the food waste business and over 30 years’ experience in the anaerobic digestion industry, you can rest assured that you’re in safe hands when you work with us.
Anaerobic digestion is a complex biological process involving the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen in large, sealed, and insulated vessels with controlled heating and mixing.
We are delighted to announce that after the difficult year we have all had, we have welcomed a new business to the BioteCH4 group. It is testament to our team of employees across all our sites that we have been able to continue servicing the needs of all of our customers across various industry sectors during the pandemic, while continuing to grow as a business.
As we start to emerge from the country’s most recent restrictions, our minds are very much focused on what the future holds for us as a business and how we can continue to support the growth of our industry in the most sustainable and efficient way possible.
We’re delighted to have been able to offer Ian Attwood a full-time role with the BioteCH4 group as our Technical Manager. Ian officially joined the team on April 6th after working with us as a consultant for several years now on a variety of projects.
I first wrote an update in May last year, talking of ‘some challenging weeks ahead’, little did we know that I’d be writing nearly a year later about the same situation. Albeit this time with renewed hope with some light at the end of the tunnel.
The growing, production, processing and transportation of food are all contributing factors to our climate emergency. With rising C02 levels, the impact food waste rotting in landfill has on this should be something we all act on.
In the last 18 months, many councils and local authorities have declared a climate emergency. When surveyed by the LGA in February 2020, nearly 8/10 councils questioned had experienced an increase in effects of climate emergency, such as flooding in the last five years.
The last year has without doubt been a very difficult one for many people personally, emotionally, financially and professionally. Businesses have had to close, people have been asked to stay home and the world, at one point, quite literally stopped.
As we enter a year in which it’s likely we’ll see the acceptance and roll out of the Government’s Food Waste Recycling plan, we explore what this could mean for local authorities across England and how we can support and help them navigate the implementation of a long-term, bespoke and cost-effective food waste plan.
