Why ReFood
Choosing a food waste partner is about more than collections.
It's about trust, transparency, and knowing exactly what happens to your waste once it leaves your site. At ReFood, we offer something genuinely different: a complete end-to-end food waste solution, delivered by specialists who focus solely on doing this one thing exceptionally well.
Established in 2011, we've grown into one of the UK's most experienced food waste and anaerobic digestion businesses. We collect food waste from businesses across the country and process it through our UK-based anaerobic digestion network, which includes in-house and approved partner facilities.
Because we oversee every stage of this journey, we offer full traceability, consistent service quality, and complete accountability from start to finish.
Benefits of our service
Many providers can offer collections. Few can guarantee where waste goes, how it's treated, and what it becomes. Our secured processing capacity and operational oversight give customers long-term confidence in a market where anaerobic digestion infrastructure is in high demand. It also ensures we remain fully compliant with all food waste and environmental regulations, giving you confidence that your waste is handled responsibly at every step. Our services work for businesses of every size, including:
- Single-site independent cafés
- Restaurants in the hospitality sector
- National retail operations
- National manufacturing operations
We offer flexible collection options and practical solutions that fit your workflow and are supported by national infrastructure and technical expertise behind the scenes.
Food waste handling is a regulated activity, and compliance matters. All ReFood operations run in accordance with Animal By-Products (ABP) regulations. From collection through to processing, we maintain audited controls, full traceability, and a documented chain of custody. This ensures food waste is handled safely, responsibly, and in line with environmental and regulatory requirements, giving our customers complete confidence in how their waste is managed.
Above all, food waste should be seen as a resource, not a problem. Every tonne collected is converted into renewable energy and valuable fertiliser, supporting a circular economy that keeps resources, energy, and value close to where they are created.
That's why businesses across the UK trust ReFood to manage their food waste, responsibly, and reliably.
