Converting food waste to biogas and fertiliser

FoodWaste Zero operates anaerobic digestion facilities.

Ireland produces over 1 million tonnes of food waste annually.

Anaerobic digestion breaks down food waste producing methane for energy.

Our pilot plant in Meath processes 50 tonnes of food waste weekly.

We plan to open three additional facilities by 2026.
