FOOD WASTE ANAEROBIC DIGESTION
Willen Biogas will showcase the benefits of treating food waste through anaerobic digestion at Waste-Works which runs alongside Pro2Pac. The company will unveil details of its fully operational, London-based 1.5 MW AD plant which turns food waste into a valuable biofertiliser and green energy, enough to power 2,600 homes. Located just off junction 25 of the M25, the plant processes thousands of tonnes of waste from a variety of food producers including bakeries, supermarkets, food processing factories and local councils. With more capacity now available,
Willen’s representatives will be on hand to demonstrate to visitors how they can cut carbon and costs by diverting their food waste to its AD plant rather than sending it to landfill or incineration. “As a farmer and fresh herb producer
I’m well aware that no food company deliberately creates unnecessary waste,” says chairman Adrian Williams. “However, there will always be a certain amount of unavoidable food waste. The best treatment option for this is anaerobic digestion and our plant makes AD an easy choice for food companies. We already process around 600 tonnes of food waste every week and as our plant is fitted with sophisticated front-end depackaging equipment it can handle all types of food waste including packaging.” Thanks to the co-operation of East
visitors with advice and guidance on the best washing and sanitising solutions for their specific requirements.
