The catering industry contributes significantly to annual waste production, with spoilage and food preparation losses leading the charge. Alongside this, the accumulation of materials like plastics, glass, and cardboard is common place among catering businesses. As an owner within the UK’s vibrant catering landscape, you are legally required to effectively oversee the waste generated by your business.

Amid escalating worries regarding the substantial waste footprint of the food and hospitality industry, Waste King presents a bespoke catering waste management solution. Tailored to accommodate businesses of any size, our services are essential for safeguarding the environment while ensuring compliance with both legal obligations and ethical standards.

Under UK legislation, every business bears the responsibility of properly managing and disposing of the waste it generates. In the catering sector, the challenge of waste management is heightened due to the substantial volumes produced and frequently limited disposal resources available. At Waste King, we specialise in catering waste management solutions, offering dedicated bins and collection services to facilitate correct disposal practices.

Catering food waste, particularly raw meats, fish, and eggs, is subject to stringent regulations to prevent it from ending up in landfills. It’s crucial for your business to be well-versed in these legal requirements to ensure compliance. For guidance and to address any queries regarding waste disposal legislation, our team of expert advisers is here to assist you.

Every establishment involved in the preparation of food for customer consumption engages in some form of catering. Consequently, all waste produced during the food preparation process is classified as catering waste. This applies even to simple food preparation activities, such as assembling sandwiches in a care home. Facilities with onsite catering services, ranging from shopping malls to campgrounds, necessitate some level of catering waste management.

Waste King specialises in catering waste management for a wide array of businesses, including:

• Restaurants
• Hotels
• Kitchens
• Pubs, bars, and clubs
• Care homes
• Takeaways

Our expertise ensures that your catering waste is handled efficiently, adhering to environmental standards and regulations, without the need for you to worry about the specifics.

Waste King offers a comprehensive range of waste disposal solutions tailored for various types of waste your organisation produces. Our eco-friendly practices include:

• Cooking Oil Recycling: We collect used cooking oil in secure drums, which is then processed to produce biodiesel or utilised in generating electricity, supporting sustainable energy initiatives.
• Food Waste Conversion: We transport food waste to certified biogas facilities, where it undergoes decomposition by microorganisms. This process produces methane gas, a renewable energy source that can power both industries and residential areas.
• Organic Waste: Biodegradable waste is transformed into organic fertiliser, promoting eco-friendly agriculture and enhancing soil fertility.
• Plastic Recycling: We ensure plastic items, such as bottles, cutlery, and containers, are sent to recycling plants. This practice aids in reducing pollution and conserving resources by reintroducing them into the manufacturing cycle.
• Glass Recycling: Glass bottles are processed at specialised facilities, cleaned, and melted down to produce new glass products or materials for construction, further contributing to environmental conservation efforts.

Through these initiatives, Waste King is committed to sustainable waste management, aiming to minimise environmental impact and support recycling and renewable energy production.
