Converting food waste to biogas and fertiliser

FoodWaste Zero operates anaerobic digestion facilities.

  • The Problem

    Ireland produces over 1 million tonnes of food waste annually.

  • Our Process

    Anaerobic digestion breaks down food waste producing methane for energy.

  • Current Operations

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

  • Expansion Plans

    We plan to open three additional facilities by 2026.
