Fooditude are proud to be the first contract caterer in London to think differently and install an ORCA (no it’s not a real whale!) in its new production kitchen. An ORCA is a 100% recycling solution to disposing of unavoidable food waste. The technology simply mimics a natural digestion process and food waste is converted into an environmentally safe liquid that is disposed of using the existing wastewater infrastructure.
This process diverts food waste from landfill and eliminates transportation which through the ORCA portal can be quantified by the reduction of the harmful emissions produced with heavy vehicles on the road. Both these are in line with Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs targets for zero food waste to landfill by 2030 and net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Since our partnership with ORCA started, we have worked together to understand and reduce food waste. We strive to promote the principles of the waste hierarchy (reduce, reuse and recycle) and the ORCA technology allows us to view accurate real time food waste data, so together we can identify any potential areas for improvement.
