Tell us about how your business got started
We’ve worked in the waste management industry for years, and have always seen things done in the same way. In food preparation there is always a lot of waste, which brings high disposal costs, missed collections and smelly bins.

We thought to ourselves, there has to be a better way.

Surely we can make it easy for businesses to reduce their waste, limiting their impact on the planet while helping them thrive. And, that’s how Zero Waste Technologies was formed. We provide the most innovative waste tech. Not just reducing costs, but also improving education and knowledge so impact can be made throughout an organisation.

What do you love most about the foodservice equipment industry?
It has to be the people we work with.

From our clients to our partners, we meet incredible people doing amazing things every day in the foodservice industry. We have the privilege to exclusively provide waste tech products from across the world, and work with innovators from all walks of life.

Take Obisk for example, our new AI powered waste reduction solution. Developed in Holland, the smart camera captures the food you’re throwing away, identifying trends and helping kitchens make informed decisions on purchasing and processes. The team behind it are geniuses, constantly developing and evolving the solution to tackle the food waste issue.

Aside from product development, almost everyone we speak to about waste reduction has a real passion to do more. The dedication in the industry is contagious, and we’re proud to be part of it.

What is the biggest challenge for your business right now?
The simple answer is, changing legislation. What we’re seeing time and time again is a lack of action to support positive change. We’re on a mission to reduce waste and the environmental impact it creates, however that needs to be supported by the government.

One of the biggest problems we’re facing is the lack of follow through on legislative commitments. Take the recent decision to abandon mandatory food waste reporting in England. Many businesses have invested time and money to adapt to these changes, when they’re reversed we’re left holding the buck.

We hope that joining the FEA will help us to influence these decisions and ensure consistency in legislation brought forward.

What are the drawing factors for joining FEA?
Sitting at the forefront of waste tech solutions, we’re constantly evolving our services to tackle the UK’s waste problem. The FEA provides us with support to influence and shape the conversation around these important issues. Helping us to bring lasting sustainable benefits within the food service industry and beyond.

Anything else you’d like to add?
When we started Zero Waste Technologies, we had a clear vision. To change the face of waste management, going beyond disposal to help businesses reduce their impact and increase their profits. But the journey to zero waste can’t be made alone.

Almost one third of food is wasted globally, and until we all act together, real change won't be made. And, that’s fundamentally what our business is built on. Using smart tech to create a community of amazing people on a journey to Zero Waste. Because, the destination doesn’t just protect our planet, it brings reduced costs, increased profits and less hassle. A win, win if you ask us.
