Spring is here and our farming partners are working hard to ensure their fields are ready for the next growing season.
Until 2006 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and 2005 in Scotland, agricultural waste was exempt from the regulations that controlled the management of household, commercial and industrial waste.
The government recently released its consultation response, from the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), on Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging (EPR).
Regulation around the spreading of organic waste around farmland has made the news again recently. With the announcement from the EA recently around the tightening of the spreading or organic waste from March 2022, there’s much discussion as to what this means for land managers and the farming community.
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.
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.
We’re asked time and time again, why waste cooking oils and fats should be disposed of correctly. It’s a tricky subject as there are lots of reasons why, which then raise the ‘how’ questions. We’re hoping to be able to answer a few of these for you in our latest blog.

In the UK alone, we produce around 10 million tonnes of food waste annually, but only 1.8 million of this waste is recycled. Understanding the economic and environmental benefits of efficient food waste recycling can deliver huge benefits for business, the local environment and long-term sustainability.
