As one of the UK’s leading food waste management experts, Verigreen recognises that fruit and vegetable producers are increasingly under pressure to provide quality, competitively priced and attractive products to the market.

Of course, all this has to be done whilst balancing production costs, adhering to the latest UK agriculture legislation, and maintaining sustainable ways of reducing and recycling waste streams.

At Verigreen, we understand the advantages of e cient bulk food waste recycling and the huge bene ts for businesses that this service can deliver for local environment and long-term sustainability.

With an estimated 3.6 million tonnes lost on farms in waste and surplus production every year, Verigreen’s waste management solutions could help save your business money and provide better environmental outcomes for your unavoidable food waste. Verigreen can o er your business the whole package when it comes to surplus food waste management. Whether you need a one-o collection, or full contracted collection services we have the capacity, knowledge and experience to look after all of your production waste.

A national collection network with global impacts

We o er surplus waste collections across the UK; this includes food factories, local authorities, food manufacturers, food processing plants, retailers, wholesalers, farming, and distribution centres. Collections can be organsied either regularly or on an ad hoc basis.

Surplus waste can be accepted either raw or packaged and palletised, as we have sophisticated de-packaging equipment at our facilities. Stateof-the-art route-planning software and a network of AD processing plants throughout the UK allows us to minimise the carbon miles your food waste incurs on its journey to recovery.

How we make the most of your surplus production waste

The surplus waste we collect is processed through our national network of anaerobic digestion (AD) plants. These plants safely capture the methane emitted from surplus waste which creates renewable biogas used to heat and power plants or upgraded into biomethane to fuel vehicles or be fed into the national gas grid.

The plants also produce nutrient-rich organic fertiliser, reducing the need for the chemical fertilisers which have seriously negative impacts on the environment. The biofertiliser provides a source of organic, renewable fertiliser for farmers and growers.

With food miles taking a more important role in consumers’ purchasing focus, the use of biofertiliser as a sustainable fertiliser is an important part of today’s agricultural practice. This reduces the environmental footprint of food production within the UK and we are keen to work with the whole supply chain to promote the complete cycling of resources to enhance the environmental aspects of the operation for future generations.

Working with sister company FGS Organics we are able to supply farmers with this sustainable PAS 110-accredited biofertiliser, helping them to minimise the reliance of manufactured fertiliser, reduce carbon footprint and maximise yields. FGS Organics complete all aspects of the supply and application of biofertiliser, from compliance through to delivery, storage and application using a range of modern, hi-tech application methods. They have self-propelled or trailed trailing shoe applicators, umbilical trailing hose or trailed shallow disc injectors – all operated by trained, competent operators.
