Newcastle City Council reached a major milestone: their food waste anaerobic digestion trial processed 300 tonnes, generating enough renewable electricity to power 281 homes (and heat another 67 homes for an entire year).
This pilot reflects exactly what Quantum Waste strives to deliver in London:

City-scale impact: local collections turned into clean energy.

Circular benefits: food waste becomes electricity, heat, and nutrient-rich fertiliser.

Community engagement proves that municipal partnerships and reliable collection matter.

For us, this trial offers a model to highlight how manual sorting and organic diversion make practical, scalable differences in urban areas. It also shows that policies aimed at national goals can succeed at a local level.
