The ban has begun
Disposing of commercial food waste in landfill is now illegal. Is your business compliant?
Under The Environment Act 2021, it is now a legal requirement for businesses to separate their food waste for collection and recycling by a reputable service provider.
The new government regulations also ban the unsustainable and environmentally unfriendly practice of disposing of food waste via a macerator and the use of liquidising digesters.
ReFood offers an environmentally friendly and sustainable way to recycle food waste while ensuring full compliance with new legislation.

Stepping up to the plate.
Aimed at promoting best practice in sustainability, accelerating progress towards net-zero targets, and easing pressure on landfill capacity, the 2025 Food Waste Regulations now hold your business accountable for its environmental impact.
As well as being responsible for separating food waste from general waste, you must enlist the help of a food waste recycling specialist to collect and process organic material in line with strict environmental standards. The amount of food waste your business generates needs to be accurately measured, monitored, documented and made available for audits.
Failure to comply will leave you liable to fines, enforcement action and even prosecution.
01 Conduct a full waste audit to understand your requirements for separation and reporting.
02 Partner with a food waste recycling expert to ensure your waste is properly handled.
03 Invest in training for your staff to ensure they’re aware of new requirements.
04 Monitor your data and be ready to report it.
