Food Waste and Organics Recycling

Reduce your business’s carbon footprint by turning your waste into compost.

Diverting food scraps and other organic material like coffee grinds from manufacturing, restaurants, cafes, hotels, offices, retail precincts, schools, universities, aged care facilities and hospitals not only saves the environment but can also save your businesses money. When organic material is placed in landfill it produces methane gases, by diverting food waste to a recycling facility new products including; compost, mulch and soil are produced.

Some states even have disposal options for a renewable energy facility where organics assist in the production of biogas to go back into the industry. Organic matter in bins is of a higher weight density than other materials, often forming the highest cost component in your general waste collections, so it makes sense to recycle. Wanless is committed to helping our customers to improve their environmental performance and to “Create a better future”.

Organics Management

Green organics

Green organics is considered grass and flower cuttings, shrub and yard clipping, woodchips, bark, hedge trimmings, weeds, fallen leaves or branches.

Soil Injection

Wanless tackles food waste, in part, by applying high nutrient liquid waste to land as fertiliser. Soil injection of liquid food wastes is a low cost, environmentally sustainable waste management option that provides benefits for the farmer and the waste generator.

Biosolids

Biosolids are a by-product of the sewage treatment process; when treated properly, biosolids can be used for agricultural purposes.

Food Waste

Food waste includes all food intended for human consumption that never reaches us, as well as edible food that consumers throw away. Perfectly edible fresh produce is often turned away from supermarket shelves because it does not meet the optimal criteria for consumers, such as shape, size and colour.

Secure organic product destruction

We can collect and transport your organic products securely and in compliance with all local laws and regulations. Materials are handled and recovered quickly, efficiently and without compromising your commercial intellectual property and confidentiality.

We’re more than waste management

A staggering 9 million tonnes of plastic ends up in the world’s oceans each year, and land-based waste is the greatest polluter. This ocean debris affects about 700 marine species, some of which are now endangered.

To help turn the tide on plastic pollution, Wanless eco(logical) is investing in Australia’s oceans.
