A sustainable fuel for the future

If your business is within the M25 area and produces food waste, we can reduce your waste costs

As Head of Responsible Business at Azzurri, I am incredibly proud of the strides we’ve made in reducing our waste, rethinking our operating model and the importance of the food we serve. Through our Recipe for A Better Future we have envisioned a future where our restaurants can continue to grow whilst doing better for our people and planet. We work very closely with our partners to achieve these goals, and our collaboration with Bio Collectors and ADM isn’t just a business partnership, it’s a testament to our Italian tradition of ‘non si butta via niente’ – nothing is thrown away.

With our partners, we have implemented an innovative closed-loop system, turning what was once our food waste into energy, contributing to powering up to 11,000 homes each year. And we did not stop at that. We found a use for the digestate, or simply what’s left after the anaerobic digestion process, using this leftover as natural fertiliser for the fields that grow our wheat. We are passionate about our food; we appreciate how many resources go into making the ingredients we serve, and now we can proudly say that what was once food waste, is now a fundamental part of our sourcing process.

This project exemplifies Azzurri’s commitment to responsible and sustainable business practices. We are thrilled to work alongside our partners in paving the way towards a more sustainable future.

Biofuel From Organic Food Waste

Here at Bio Collectors, we love a challenge. Constantly questioning the status quo, we’re always on the lookout for new ways to innovate and make food waste recycling easy and accessible for our customers across London.

So, what happens to your food once we collect it? First, it’s taken to our state-of-the-art anaerobic digestion facility, where it’s then transformed into clean energy and digestate products.

This means that nothing goes to landfill, demonstrating a truly closed-loop economy that reduces the country’s reliance on unsustainable practices, such as fracking.

What is Anaerobic Digestion?

The anaerobic digestion process takes roughly 72 hours to convert your excess food into usable resources for tomorrow – including biofuel, which we use to power our fleet of vehicles.

The term ‘anaerobic digestion’ refers to a series of processes whereby micro-organisms break down biodegradable materials free from oxygen. It’s an efficient and sustainable way of converting your business’ leftover food into usable energy.
