Waitrose and Joan Ruddock Very Positive About Anaerobic Digester Success

Waitrose Recycling Waste Manager Arthur Sayer told FoodBev: "Anaerobic digestion has been operating in other European countries, such as Germany, for decades, so we thought it was worth trying out on a commercial scale for our supermarkets. So far, the signs are really positive, and this looks to be a sustainable way of eliminating the need to send waste food to landfill."

Environment minister Joan Ruddock told the Times that an anaerobic digestion plant could fit into any industrial estate in the country.
