Separate your food waste

Did you know that your old potato peels and dry bread crusts can be turned into vehicle fuel and plant nutrients?

Biogas is one of the most environmentally friendly vehicle fuels because it doesn't increase the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere.

Separating food waste is easy — many have already started!


Restaurants, municipal functions, building societies and tenement houses are offered the opportunity to start separating their food waste. Food waste separation for single-family houses will be started up gradually. Read more by clicking on the images further down on this page. 

CAN CARS BE RUN ON APPLE CORES?

VA SYD has made a couple of films about food waste to illustrate the food waste process in an easy way. We explain how to separate food waste and start up a subscription for food waste separation. See all the film versions to the right.

For english subtitles click the "CC"-button in the control bar underneath the film.
