How much do you really know about where the food waste from your business ends up? One of the most important but largely overlooked aspects of running a food related business is waste disposal. It’s more convenient for many to push it to the back of their minds and simply pick the cheapest solution without really looking into a company’s credentials or giving a damn about where your waste actually goes or how it gets there.
Food left to rot in landfill produces a large amount of methane, a greenhouse gas that is even more powerful than CO2. Its’s estimated that food waste that is rotting in landfill is responsible for 8% of global emissions. Stop and think about that for a second – horrendous, isn’t it?
This is where partnering with us can help… and really help, not just the greenwashed, wishy washy type of help.
We actually give a damn about where food waste ends up
Rather than picking your waste up and taking it to landfill, we source local anaerobic digestion facilities, bio-diesel refineries and animal feed specialists. This means that instead of being hauled off and dumped who knows exactly where, you can dispose of your food waste and do some good at the same time. Sounds better, right?
By using local facilities, we can cut back on the travel miles your waste does, further reducing the impact of food waste on our planet. Plus, this helps us to ensure a faster turnaround and a more efficient process for your business. A win for the planet and a win for your business.
Okay, that sounds great, but my business has some specialist needs?
We cater to all waste types, whether it’s via 240 litre wheelie bins, food skips, or 28-tonne bulkers, we’ve got a solution that’s right for your business needs. Our team of specialists handle everything from palletised food waste to waste in glass containers and can offer expert advice and solutions for disposing of your business’s food waste. Our services are nationwide too, so no matter where in the UK your business is based, we can help you.
When you work with us, you’ll get a dedicated account manager who will learn your business inside out. This means you get an easy and personal service, and it also ensures you’re getting the very best solution for your business. We even offer complimentary on-site audits. Can’t say that about many waste disposal companies, now, can you?
Can I really save money by choosing Gegan for food waste disposal?
Yes, you really can. When you pay no attention to your waste management, you’re throwing away both your money and potentially your company’s reputation. Think about it, with a lot of companies, you have no idea where your waste is going. They could be disposing of it illegally for all you know, which if found out, could drag your company’s name through the dirt too.
We aim to provide a zero waste to landfill solution and use local facilities wherever possible to save you up to 40% on your business waste costs whilst helping to achieve zero waste to landfill. Most importantly, we’re not in it for the profits. We’re not bumping prices, taking hefty cuts, or trying to push you towards solutions that are really only good for filling up our own pockets. We genuinely care about looking after the environment in the most cost-effective way possible which is exactly what you can tap into when you partner with us.
Additional benefits include:
- All waste streams are covered so nothing fazes us.
- There’s a thorough paper trail to guarantee legal compliance.
- We’re licensed by the Environment Agency so you know we’re legit.
By providing a paper trail, you can prove your companies’ eco-friendly credentials, which can even increase your customer base and make you money in the long run.
The environmental crisis is increasingly (and rightfully!) impacting consumer decisions. Global Google searches for topics related to sustainable products increased by approximately 130% between 2017 and 2022.
