Food and drink manufacturers recycled or recovered 82% of the waste produced at their sites in 2006, a Defra-funded report has revealed.
However, the study has called for the sector to segregate more waste at source to further reduce the amount it sends to landfill.
We hope that the survey results will send a message to the waste industry to invest more in anaerobic digestion and composting capacity
The report, which was jointly published by the Defra and the food and drink sector's trade association, the Food and Drink Federation (FDF), indicated that, of 835,000 tonnes of food and packaging waste produced at 236 sites run by FDF members, only 138,000 tonnes was sent to landfill.
