Wales factory runs on food waste
A factory in Wales, UK, that will run on food-waste is set to receive £500,000 (€564,000)funding.
The ready meals factory will use state-of-the-art technology to transform food waste into heat, power and compost.
It will contribute up to 10% of the factory’s power and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 7,500 tonnes a year.
The Welsh Assembly Government funding will contribute towards a £5 million large-scale anaerobic digestion (AD) unit being developed by InSource Energy.
The unit will help power the R F Brookes ready meals plant owned by Premier Foods Plc at Rogerstone, near Newport.
AD technology will convert food waste left over from the production of ready meals to provide heat and power for the processing plant.
The Welsh Assembly Government and waste advisory body WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme) worked closely together to offer support for this investment.
