Waste of animal origin

More than 20 million tonnes of animal by-products are generated annually in countries belonging to the European Union. This carries with it the risk of transmitting animal diseases and chemical pollution. By-products of animal origin constitute a threat to human and animal health, therefore they are subject to strict rules of transport, storage and disposal. Animal by-products include, inter alia, whole or parts of dead animals, animal products or other products derived from animals not intended for human consumption (e.g. hides, horns, hair).

Dangerous substances

Dangerous substances pose a huge threat to human health and life and have a negative impact on the environment. The method of storage and disposal of this type of waste is carefully designed and supervised by the relevant authorities. Hazardous waste includes all substances that have chemical properties that endanger the environment and the health and life of people. These include solvents, alkalis and acids, which are often used in industrial plants.   Receipt of hazardous substances The collection of hazardous substances requires well-designed procedures, qualified staff and an appropriate fleet of vehicles. The entire process must be properly documented. Inadequate storage and disposal of hazardous waste can result in poisoning of soil, air and water. It is important that they are properly segregated in order to prevent an ecological disaster on a micro-scale.

Food waste

The group of food waste includes such wastes as:

  • food and kitchen leftovers;
  • overdue food;
  • food products withdrawn from the market;
  • post-production waste of plant and animal origin

and other articles unfit for consumption. Food waste is generated in connection with the activities of such institutions as restaurants, catering bars, schools, kindergartens and other institutions dealing with collective catering.   Organic waste collection More and more customers are interested in organic waste collection. This does not apply only to restaurants or the agri-food industry. Waste segregation is becoming a universal obligation. Legal regulations concerning waste segregation start to apply not only to entrepreneurs and scientific, medical and public institutions. Segregation makes it possible to reduce and rationalise the costs of waste collection, so entities not directly related to the catering sector are also looking for companies that collect this type of waste, including seasonal work such as grass mowing and tree pruning.
