Food Waste Recycling. Why Recycle Food Waste?

We make it easy for restaurants to manage dry and liquid food waste in a way that works for you. We create a custom solution that fits your needs and helps you reach your landfill diversion goals. Just like your kitchen team, Denali works around the clock to get the job done.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions:

Organic material sent to landfills produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. By collecting organic material, the waste can be diverted from landfills and processed in a way that reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Promoting sustainability:

Collecting food waste promotes sustainability by reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and creating opportunities for waste to be repurposed and reused.

Encouraging a circular economy:

Collecting food waste can support a circular economy by diverting waste into compost, animal feed, or other uses.

Cost savings:

By reducing waste disposal costs and potentially generating revenue through the sale of repurposed byproducts, collecting organic material can be cost-effective for restaurants.

Types of Food Waste from Restaurants

Processing everything from fresh produce and meats to baked goods and prepared meals can result in large amounts of waste. Restaurants 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 restaurant operations, including:
