We create a custom solution that fits your needs and helps you reach your landfill diversion goals. Just like your manufacturing team, Denali works around the clock to get the job done.
Why Recycle Food Manufacturing Waste?
Collecting food waste from food manufacturers is important for several reasons:
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
Promoting sustainability
Encouraging circular economy
Cost savings
Types of Organic Resources from Food Manufacturing
Processing everything from bakery and milk to frozen dinners and gummy snacks can result in large amounts of waste. Manufacturers continue to search for responsible ways to remove and divert these waste products. Denali offers solutions and provides equipment for all types of residuals resulting from industrial food processes, including:
Bread and batter from cooking operations, including floor sweepings
Raw, unused and used ingredients
Used cooking oil
Sludges, cakes and all types of liquid
Packaged materials
Dry Goods
Dry goods manufacturing refers to the process of producing food items that have a long shelf life and can be stored without refrigeration. Examples of dry goods include grains, cereals, pasta, beans, and nuts. The manufacturing process involves various steps such as cleaning, sorting, milling, blending, packaging, and labeling.
As such, commercial bakers and manufacturers typically require custom solutions for their disposal needs. There are various ways to handle recycling byproducts that will depend on several factors such as volume, type of materials, available space, and loading equipment.
Liquid Waste
Proper management of liquid food waste is important to reduce its environmental impact and prevent pollution. Methods of management may include composting, anaerobic digestion, or treatment and discharge in wastewater treatment plants.
Wastewater from food processing plants
This can include water used for cleaning equipment and processing food, as well as wastewater generated during the production of beverages.
Fruits & vegetables
Liquid waste can be generated during the processing of fruits and vegetables, including peels, seeds, and other inedible parts.
Dairy waste
Milk and dairy products that have expired or are no longer suitable for consumption can create liquid waste.
Cooking oil and grease waste
Liquid waste can also include cooking oils and greases that are no longer suitable for use.
Liquid food waste from households & restaurants
This can include liquids from leftover food and beverages, spoiled food, and cooking oil and grease.
Brewery waste
Brewing beer generates liquid waste such as wastewater, spent grains, and trub (the sediment left over after brewing).
Pulp and juice processing waste
Liquid waste is generated during the processing of fruits and vegetables to produce juices and pulps.
