Food Waste In The UK
In the UK we waste around 10 million tonnes of food waste every year, 70% of which is still edible.
If the food waste is sent to a landfill, this creates harmful greenhouse gases 25x more harmful than CO2, which must be avoided.
The Government has set out changes to reduce this figure by 20% by 2025.
The world's food waste, if recycled into Green Energy could reduce greenhouse gases by up to 518 million tonnes - This is the equivalent of taking all the cars off the road in Europe and the UK.
It has been estimated that a third of all food grown in the world will become waste every year.
We want to see more food re-distributed and more food waste used for local energy.

Creating A Sustainable Community A Food Waste Story
Did you know?
The food waste goes to a local Anaerobic Digestion Plant, where the food is biologically processed that breaks down the Food in absence of oxygen to produce a brown substance that still holds a lot of the nutritious properties the food once had. Local farmers in the West Midlands will use this to grow more crops, who then sell on to shops and restaurants, ready for the cycle to begin again. |
Green Energy.
Digestate is the name of the fertiliser left behind. The National Farmers Union have said that it is an excellent farmer fertiliser, that also reduces their costs. With rapid growth in AD processing, it is becoming ever available for farmers to use. This is why food waste in the UK should be managed efficiently. A study was carried out on a local farm, and they discovered that food production thrived more with the Food Fertiliser than the chemical-based fertiliser. |
