Lining your food recycling caddy

Food waste for recycling can be put into your caddy loose, wrapped in a couple of sheets of newspaper, or in caddy liners with the code EN 13432. Caddy liners are composted along with the food at our in-vessel composting plant but are removed at our anaerobic digestion plants and used to make refuse derived fuel.
