FWDs represent a valuable addition to environmental, waste management and recycling solutions:

  • Offer efficient management of kitchen food waste and a rich source of renewable energy.
  • Make recycling easy for householders and landfill targets achievable for local authorities.
  • In flats and densely populated areas, posing the greatest waste challenges, they offer the most convenient and hygienic means of managing food waste.
  • Significantly reduce waste sent to landfill.
  • Offer carbon and other cost efficiencies.
  • Create added value from food waste including the recovery of critical resources such as phosphorus and other soil nutrients from sewage sludge.
  • Use minimal energy and water.
