Processors could reap benefits from new UK anaerobic digestion plant

Food producers can cut costs and boost environmental credentials by recycling food waste at a new anaerobic digestion plant in Wiltshire, UK, according to the firm behind the facility, Malaby Biogas.

Anaerobic digestion uses microrganisms to break down food waste into biogas that can be burnt to produce heat or electricity, or cleaned to make vehicle fuel.
