Food Waste Management Services
Kane Enviro provides expert 24/7 ICW and food waste management solutions, ensuring full compliance with UK legislation through tailored collections, licensed disposal, and complete environmental documentation, available nationwide.
Compliance Made Simple
Ensure Compliance with the New Food Waste Legislation
From 31st March 2025, new government legislation has brought England in line with the rest of the UK, meaning that all businesses must arrange separate food waste collections as part of effective food waste management, ensuring waste material no longer goes into general waste.
As the legislation varies slightly between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the team at Kane Enviro will use their expertise to keep you compliant in accordance with the relevant government rules.
Kane Enviro will create tailored food waste solutions that suit the needs of your business by designing a collection schedule based on the volume of food waste you produce. We will tailor a package that ensures you have the correct bin quantity and collection frequency, so your food waste is collected efficiently and in a way that maximises value.
International waste, local expertise
Specialist handling for International Catering Waste
International Catering Waste (ICW) is waste that is presented from a vessel or aircraft that has travelled outside of the UK, even if the material onboard originated from the UK.
Due to the nature of the material Kane Enviro can provide a compliant solution offering the correct container for collection with disposal at a licensed facility backed by the relevant environmental paperwork.
Our services are available 24/7 365 days of the year across the whole of the UK.
