Food businesses (such as cafés, restaurants, or takeaways) producing over 5 kg of food waste per week must take all reasonable steps to collect food waste separately.
Along with this requirement to separate food waste for collection, there will also be a ban on the non-domestic use of food waste disposal units (macerators) and food waste digesters where food is discharged into public sewers directly or indirectly.
There's a ban on biodegradable municipal waste going to landfill, which took effect on 1st January 2021.
