  • What is Agricultural Waste?

    There are a variety of different types of agricultural waste, all with different methods of disposal. For example, manure, oil, silage plastics, fertiliser, pesticides and herbicides; wastes from farms, poultry houses and slaughterhouses; veterinary medicines, or horticultural plastics.


    If agricultural waste is not disposed of properly, the results can be devastating!

Types Of Waste In Takeaway Businesses


Depending on the business in question, the exact composition of their waste output will vary. Of course, food and packaging materials make up the bulk of a takeaway business’ waste. Beyond this, they might also produce glass waste, WEEE, waste cooking oil, plastic cutlery, paper, general waste and washroom and sanitary waste.


What Is Takeaway Waste?


Takeaway waste is typically formed of two major waste streams – food and packaging. Takeaway meals often come in disposable cardboard or plastic containers which can be effectively recycled by a specialist commercial recycling provider like GWR Waste Management. Food waste is another common output, with takeaway businesses producing huge amounts of discarded food. Reducing this figure is, of course, the best option, but post-consumer waste can be difficult to control. As a result, working with an expert food waste recycling company means this excess organic waste can be turned into green electricity and diverted from landfill.

How To Reduce Takeaway Waste


Generous servings lead to customer satisfaction, but many takeaway businesses produce large amounts of food waste. Clearly, finding a balance between generous and unnecessary portion sizes is key. Another way to target food waste is to analyse your food preparation methods and ensure you are making the best use of your ingredients. It is also important to manage your inventory well and ensure ingredients are not regularly going past use-by dates unnecessarily.


Finally, takeaway businesses use large volumes of disposable food container waste such as plastic tubs, jars or cardboard boxes. A way to target this type of waste is to offer a refill service with branded tins or tubs and cutlery, use plant-plastic or opt for other biodegradable packaging options.
