The Top 5 Uses of Biodiesel
As mentioned on our Oil Extraction service page, we installed a dedicated plant for the extraction of oils and fats from organic waste streams back in 2009.

Why Stricter Food Waste Recycling Could Change the Way You Work and How Bioganix Can Help You Adapt
Right now, there isn’t much in the way of government regulation when it comes to the recycling of food waste. In the UK, the rule essentially boils down to the fact you have to dispose of food waste hygienically. That’s pretty loose and open to a fair bit of interpretation. But this is set to change.
