Food Waste
Why is Biogas Considered an Excellent Fuel?
Biogas is a clean, renewable energy source offering significant environmental and economic benefits. With high methane content, it is efficient and reliable, addressing waste management while reducing carbon footprints. Discover how biogas is transforming energy production and providing sustainable solutions for the future…
Unlock Anaerobic Digestion Food Waste Benefits Today
Did you know that for every tonne of food waste diverted from landfill using anaerobic digestion, up to 1.9 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions are avoided? As the UK rushes to meet the 2026 “Simpler Recycling” deadline, England’s councils face not only an urgent climate responsibility but also a hidden environmental threat: microplastics. This article […]
Landia’s GasMix System Installed at Cory’s First Anaerobic Digestion Plant
Landia’s acclaimed GasMix System is at the heart of the biogas making process using anaerobic-digestion, at Cory Environmental* (now Enovert). Cory, with over 40 sites, is one of the UK’s leading recycling, waste management and energy recovery companies. In March 2014, Cory unveiled its first anaerobic digestion facility. It produces renewable energy to power local […]
Landia GasMix Biogas Reactor Mixing System – Awards Update
Here is another update to the Press Release we first published about the Landia GasMix Biogas Reactor Mixing System award back in 2016. We are pleased to inform you that Landia received two “Highly Commended” Honours on its first submission at the prestigious UK AD & Biogas Industry Awards of that year. Landia the creators […]
Hidden Dangers of Plastics in Food Waste Recycling: Growing Concerns Over Old Shredding Equipment
Microplastics in Food Waste Recycling and Plastic Shred: Worries About Antiquated Shredding Machines Raise New Light on Plastic Hazards in Food Scrap Recycling Recent research has highlighted growing concerns regarding the efficiency and safety of older food waste recycling equipment, specifically shredding and depackaging machines still widely used in recycling plants. Rather than effectively removing […]
25 Years of UK Biogas History 2025 – The Rise of the AD Industry Over a Quarter of a Century
“UK Biogas History” or the UK anaerobic digestion and biogas production industry to give it a fuller title has been developed from almost nothing over the years since 2000. In this article, we cover the last quarter of a century of the UK Industry’s history and recent developments at the beginning of 2025. Key Points […]
The Food Waste Problem: Seasonal and Panic Buying Avalanches – Covid Lessons
The food waste problem has become more difficult in recent years as a result of seasonal and panic-buying. Food waste avalanches at food waste disposal facilities and biogas plants mean that large quantities go beyond the capability of the existing biogas plant and composting facilities. And, the result is that without the reserve capacity to […]
Food Waste AD – The Anaerobic Digestion of Inedible Food for Energy and Natural Fertiliser
Food Waste AD is the short way to refer to the anaerobic digestion of food waste. In other words, extracting energy from inedible food provides renewable energy and natural fertiliser while diverting environmentally damaging waste away from landfills. That encapsulates the core philosophy of the movement towards food waste AD. “It’s a crying same that […]
Food Waste Recycling Machine Raises Purity of Biogas Feed to a New Level
The modern Food Waste Recycling Machine is a new and innovative way to recycle food waste and to produce a pretreated biogas substrate. The machine can depackage food waste, separating it from other waste products. This makes it easier to recycle food waste and reduces the amount of waste that goes to landfill. The demand […]
Xergi Biogas Plants – 5 Advanced Plant Construction Themes
The Xergi Biogas company, Denmark’s market-leading supplier of AD technology (2017) has been building a successful biogas business in the UK, and around the world, for over 10 years (2022). They have multiple anaerobic digestion plants now either operational or in construction. New Xergi biogas plants are announced every few months. As you can see from […]
High Rate Anaerobic Digestion Plant Treats Wastewater Effluent Streams
By definition, a High Rate Anaerobic Digestion Plant can effectively handle high-strength wastewater effluent streams, such as sewage sludge. To be high rate it needs to be able to provide the necessary reactions at a higher rate than traditional biogas process plant which need a 30 day retention period or longer. Back in 2017, we […]
Anaerobic Digestion Process Steps
The Anaerobic Digestion Process Steps, which result in biogas (renewable fuel) and natural fertiliser, are explained on this page. The process (which is known as “AD”) is an increasingly attractive waste and biofuel crop treatment process in which both pollution control and energy recovery can be achieved. The result is known as renewable energy or […]
