Compostable waste makes up around 30% of waste sent to landfill, and many people mistakenly believe that once there it will break down naturally because it is organic material. In landfill, food waste decomposes anaerobically releasing methane gas (*a greenhouse gas that warms the planet at a rate 86 times greater than carbon dioxide). In the move to a sustainable, circular economy, reusing materials wherever possible is crucial and food waste is no different. We aim to divert unnecessary waste from landfill and use it to create high quality compost to further benefit the environment.  

As well as being better for our environment, we believe that diverting food waste from landfill can actually work out pretty well for your wallet. If your rubbish vessel no longer contains organic matter (and you make use of available recycling facilities), you shouldn’t need to have your rubbish collected on a regular basis. You may have to put out an occasional rubbish bag for disposal, but your waste will be able to collect slowly over time without the bad odours which attract animals and vermin.
