Wyndham Resources has successfully secured a 3-year contract with a leading UK food manufacturer.

The well-known food manufacturer has released its ambitious sustainability strategy and works collaboratively with its suppliers and clients to ensure optimal environmental performance.  Keen to achieve, it has wasted no time in stepping up to its own mission by appointing Wyndham Resources to manage the regular collection, disposal, and recycling of its waste.

Wyndham Resources is a leading, sustainability focused waste management company with services extending across the UK.  The company is uniquely positioned to offer a range of waste management services and can support its clients with waste and recycling machinery, and the sustainable disposal of hazardous waste, WEEE waste, and food waste.  Wyndham can help food manufacturers and supermarkets achieve their sustainability goals by segregating and recycling 100% of their food waste.

It is estimated that supermarkets are disposing of some 190 million meals annually, a number that must be reduced.  While some supermarkets can, and in many cases do, donate to food banks, products that reach the use by date or best before date, may still end up at landfill.

This food manufacturer understands the impact of food waste on the environment and how it can be avoided.  Importantly, it recognises its contribution and is ready to make change.

Wyndham’s team is experienced in overcoming the challenges of operating in the food and beverage manufacturing sector; the company helps its clients recover value from waste streams by anaerobic digestion or composting. Anaerobic digestion is the decomposition of organic waste in the absence of microorganisms, providing a source of renewable energy.  With anaerobic digestion, food manufacturers and supermarkets can achieve an improved carbon footprint as its food waste will be decomposed to provide biomethane in exchange for commercial benefits including cost-neutrality with rebates and reduced costs.

Director of Contracts and Clients at Wyndham Resources, Julie Pretty, is responsible for securing this agreement:

We have worked very closely with all the departments within the company, in the cook areas, warehouse, and packaging departments to bring them a procedure that ties all the departments in and is totally implemented throughout the business, which is the most important thing. This has enabled us to gain more rebates and help them become cost neutral across two sites.  We have helped with training, signage and produced innovative ideas to ensure the teams on site have procedures that they understand in order to also see the importance of recycling for the future and want to be a part of it.

This contract award is a huge accolade to Wyndham’s commitment to delivering sustainable waste management solutions for every client; the team are committed to only working with clients who share a vision in achieving a greener tomorrow – Wyndham promise to help its clients go green with improved commercial margins.
