Waste. Not.

Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is viewed by authorities such as WRAP and DEFRA as a sound environmental and commercial solution to landfill challenges facing waste producers and local authorities.

Local Generation's AD plants can handle waste output from agriculture, manufacturing and retail; from meat, dairy, vegetables, baked goods and processed foods, both solid and liquid. And whatever the product, we can effectively deal with all forms of packaging. Within our group of companies, we can offer a track record of over four decades in food production, focusing on quality assurance, environmental management and health and safety.

If you'd like to know more about Local Generation and how it can make your business more sustainable, please contact us.

Anaerobic digestion is extremely attractive. Why would we go on throwing food waste into holes in the ground when we could generate our own electricity and end up with a product that can be returned to the soil? I am sure this is the way forward.
