Keenan Recycling announced the launch of a new fleet of food waste collection trucks powered entirely by biomethane. This milestone demonstrates how the waste management sector is embracing cleaner, low-carbon transport solutions to reduce emissions and support the UK’s climate goals. At Quantum Waste, we see this as a powerful example of how sustainability and practicality can go hand in hand. While our model focuses on short urban routes with small vehicles, the principle is the same: reducing the environmental footprint of waste collection. Cleaner fleets, whether large biomethane trucks or compact urban vans, help ensure that recycling is not only effective but also aligned with a greener future. Biomethane, produced from food waste through anaerobic digestion, represents a true circular economy solution. Waste is collected, converted into renewable energy, and then used to power the very vehicles that continue the cycle. This is an inspiring step towards closed-loop sustainability. At Quantum Waste, we are committed to practical innovations. Our team manually sorts waste to maximise recycling rates and diverts food waste to biogas plants, contributing directly to renewable energy production. As more companies adopt biomethane fleets, the whole waste industry moves closer to a cleaner, more responsible model. 📌 Every bag of waste we collect is part of a bigger cycle: reducing waste, producing energy, and protecting our environment.
