Last month ADBA launched a report titled ‘Food Waste Recycling- Anaerobic Digestion: the net zero lever for Local Authorities'. The report highlights the benefits for Local Authorities (LA) of adopting anaerobic digestion (AD) as a food waste recycling option to achieve net zero targets and save taxpayers’ money.
Separate food waste collections are expected to be rolled out across the UK from 2023 onwards. The lunch will bring LA representatives together with investors, AD plant operators and all relevant stakeholders to discuss barriers and solutions for successfully integrating separate food waste collections to their waste management processes.
Charlotte Morton, ADBA chief executive, said: “Over 300 councils in the UK have declared a climate emergency. Starting to collect their food waste - to both reduce and recycle it - will be a key step in the pathway to carbon neutrality.
“This lunch aims to provide the guidance necessary for Local Authorities to successfully implement the soon-to-be mandatory separate food waste collections and reap the benefits of recycling through anaerobic digestion, not only for the environment, but also in terms of cost-savings. This is a must-attend event for anyone responsible for municipal waste management in the UK.”
