Derby AD Facility
Our Derby AD plant processes household and commercial food wastes, including packaged and unpackaged goods. Up to 50,000 tonnes of solid and liquid waste is treated at the facility each year, which is turned into biomethane and sent to the gas grid. The site also produces an excellent bio-fertiliser which is spread on local farmland.

- Production wastes from the manufacture of food and beverages; both solids and liquids
- Packaged food waste such as surplus, spoiled or off-spec stock, out of date products, stock clearances, factory breakdowns or QC failed products
- Food collected on trade waste collection rounds
- Restaurant and catering wastes
- Bakery and bread products
- Domestic, kerbside collected food waste
- Liquids and very wet wastes such as compost leachate, alcohols, fats and oils
