FOOD WASTE RECYCLING
A commercial food trap interceptor should incorporate a regular removal regime of all these trapped food waste particles, so as to prevent them from building up and bypassing down stream into the drainage system. Direct wet waste food disposal equipment is banned.
The food trap can be categorised as non-complex equipment, requiring only gravity to allow settlement and does not need any moving parts or power supply for it to operate. The sealed tank unit should have a removable cover to allow complete internal access, for both inspection and for the regular removal of all the intercepted food particles.
From 1st April 2017, food business operators are prohibited from depositing food waste in a public drain or sewer, or in a drain that connects to a public drain or sewer.
Wet waste food particles will inevitably be discharged through plugholes during any wash-ware discharging operation, unless suitable food-to-drain prevention measures are in place. This never-ending food supply leaves an unhygienic food trail back to the premises that attract pests. 96% of the UK public depend upon the mains public drainage and sewerage system.
Sink strainers can only restrict some larger food particles from waste water discharges and it is important that commercial food operations install food trap interceptor tanks which are adequately designed to trap both large and fine food sediment particles through settlement as well as capture free floating organic hydrocarbon components through flotation

FOOD WASTE TECHNOLOGY
Waste food reduction presents a global challenge for each and every one of the expanding seven billion population.
The world simply cannot sustain the current level of wasted food nor the continued failure to recover this avoidable valuable resource.
Every tonne of improperly disposed of food waste emmits 400kg of CO
Every tonne of food waste costs an average £2,800
