Wednesday 5th June has been designated as World Environmental Day 2010 and although climate change has been highlighted this year there are many more pressing matters nearer to home that could be addressed including commercial and business food waste policies and a “zero waste to landfill” strategy.
The vast majority of commercial and business food waste that is created by schools,colleges/universities,hospitals,care homes,hotels and guest houses,restaurants,public houses,food producers and company canteens is taken to landfill sites around the UK and creates methane gas one of the primary causes of greenhouse gasses and global warming.
Food waste management is paramount so that the environment does not suffer and with the abundance of food waste recycling facilities,either in-vessel composting or Bio-gas plants,there is no excuse.
Although many local councils are neglecting commercial and business food waste there are independant food waste carriers that see this particular waste stream and the subsequent recycling as an easy route in the “zero waste to landfill” solution.
One such carrier is Eco Food Recycling who operate in the Bournemouth,Poole,Christchurch,Ringwood,Wimborne and surrounding area’s and have a food waste collection round and recycling.They are a new company that is a specialised food waste carrier.
