Waste Management Plan: Consultation Response by Feedback Global

Feedback welcome that the government is committed to zero food waste to landfill by 2030 and mandatory separate food waste collection. The government is also “committed to increasing the energy from waste produced through AD”. The summary of evidence presented here shows that Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is often a suboptimal use of the land and resources embodied in food waste, except as a last-resort waste management option, and that food waste prevention and diversion to animal feed yield far greater environmental benefits.
