What happens at an anaerobic digestion plant?

At an anaerobic digestion (AD) plant, food waste is separated from its packaging. Microorganisms break down the food waste in the absence of oxygen to produce green energy, which is used to create electricity or is injected into the gas grid network. For more information about our services and anerobic digestion process, call our team today on 03316 300 727 or click here to learn more.

Are you aware of the new food waste legislation?

The Environmental Act came into effect in 2023, changing how companies dispose of their food waste. Your food waste needs to be segregated, with separate bins and collections. Verigreen can ensure that your business is compliant with these new regulations with our array of food waste collection and disposal services. Contact us today to get ahead of the legislation.
