What Do We Do With Our Waste?
We pride ourselves on diverting our waste from landfill and strive to find new and alternative means of reusing and reducing waste.
Our local waste solutions partners, MJ CHURCH, operate their services based on ‘zero waste to landfill’ (0W2L) as standard. Much of our waste is now sent to ‘waste to energy’ facilities across the Southwest. Our food waste is broken down using anaerobic digestion. This complex biological process breaks down organic matter ready to be applied on farmland. The use of this high nutrient biofertiliser replaces the use of fossil-fuel derived fertilisers and ensures a complete loop of carbon and energy capture. Each tonne of food waste recycled by anaerobic digestion, as an alternative to landfill, prevents between 0.5 and 1.0?tonne of CO2 re-entering the earth’s atmosphere.
