What Happens to Food Waste?

Food waste collected from households in the district is taken to an Anaerobic Digestion (AD) facility in Coleshill, North Warwickshire.

Anaerobic digestion is the process by which organic matter such as food waste is broken down to produce biogas and biofertilizer. This process happens in the absence of oxygen in a sealed oxygen-free tank call an anaerobic digester.

Home Composting
