Food waste
Your food waste can be turned into energy.
Kitchen waste, organic waste, MCA Recycling collects your food waste:
- food leftovers, food preparation waste, cooked meals, …
- food waste whether packed or not, bread, coffee grounds, …
- deep-frying oil.
Containers (which comply with AFSCA standards) are specifically designed for this type of waste. Our partner recycles this waste using the biomethanisation process.
Accepted food waste:
- cooked and prepared meals (hot or cold),
- bones and meat scraps,
- liquids (soup, gravy, juice),
- off-cuts.
Biomethanisation
Organic waste is treated using methanisation. This natural process of degradation of organic material by bacteria can break down organic waste in the absence of oxygen, into biogas consisting of methane which is then injected directly into the gas distribution network (ORES). This reaction also produces a residue known as digestate, which can be recovered as an agricultural fertiliser.
Our strengths
Biomethanisation
Biomethanisation enables us to accept more food waste than with compositing. This facilitates the management of this flow for our customers.
