Did you know your lunchtime food waste could power your phone 13 times a week? Most of us try to cut down on food waste — but nearly half of office workers still throw away part of their lunch each week. The main reasons are inedible scraps, busy schedules, and oversized portions. Yet only 11% know that if separated into the right bin, food waste is sent to Anaerobic Digestion, producing biogas used to generate electricity — energy that could charge phones or boil a kettle! Simpler Recycling legislation will standardise business waste collections nationwide. From 31st March 2025, businesses with 10+ employees must separate food waste from general waste. Our guide will help you navigate the new rules and find the right food waste solution for your business. It’s not too late – get prepared today!

It’s International Women’s Day 2025 and we’ve got a lot to shout about at Biffa. Team members have been encouraged to call out women who have inspired them by accelerating action. Even though we’ve made amazing progress in the UK, at the current rate of change it will take 134 years - or five generations - to achieve full gender parity on a global scale! So, let’s keep building on what has worked and find new ways to create real change now. What are you doing to recognise IWD? #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction
