In a remarkable achievement, Keenan Recycling has surpassed a significant milestone: emptying over 1.2 million food waste bins across the UK in 2024. This extraordinary feat underscores our commitment to sustainable waste management and our dedication to creating a greener future.
Testament to team effort
This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our incredible team. Their unwavering commitment to excellence and sustainability has driven our success. By efficiently collecting food waste from households and businesses across the nation, we’ve played a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving valuable resources.
Transforming waste into energy
The food waste we collect is not just discarded; it’s transformed into valuable renewable energy through a process called anaerobic digestion (AD). This innovative technology breaks down organic matter in the absence of oxygen, producing biogas that can be used to generate electricity and heat.
Impact of our efforts
By diverting food waste from landfills and converting it into clean energy, we’re making a significant contribution to a more sustainable future. The energy generated from our food waste recycling efforts is equivalent to powering 18.35 million British homes for an hour.
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions: By diverting food waste from landfills, we’ve saved an impressive 89,385 tonnes of CO2.
- Renewable energy generation: The biogas produced from food waste can power millions of homes, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
- Circular economy: By turning waste into energy, we’re contributing to a more circular economy and reducing our environmental footprint.
For a greener tomorrow
Keenan Recycling is proud to be at the forefront of the food waste revolution. We’re committed to continuing our efforts to reduce waste, conserve resources, and create a more sustainable world for future generations.
