Food waste can be recycled into renewable energy, adding an extra layer to the lifecycle of your restaurant waste in York.
From bistros in the bustling centre to the cosy cafes on the cobbles and homely pubs along the Ouse, the city of York and North Yorkshire proudly boasts a wide selection of eateries. With Michelin guide fine dining to family-run kitchens, there’s so much to choose from and like most of the hospitality industry, there comes a need for proper waste management.
The biggest contributor to food waste is the restaurant industry. Primarily caused by oversized portions, extensive menu offerings and inflexibility of chains, tonnes of food is wasted every year. However, there are ways to recycle food waste and the best part is, food waste can be recycled into renewable energy, adding an extra layer to the lifecycle of your restaurant waste in York.

Where does it go?
The food waste we collect from your premises is taken to an anaerobic digestion plant in Yorkshire for conversion into renewable energy. Processing solid waste into fuel releases less carbon dioxide and methane into the air than decaying waste in landfill sites. Energy from Waste (EfW) plants also create less air pollution than coal plants.
