Food & Drink Processing

The phenomenal growth of the food processing industry in developed countries has resulted in panoply of legislation relating to effluent management and animal by-products. The pressure on the retail giants to source environmentally friendly, waste efficient products, combined with recent food scares, has created a demand for effective waste management solutions.

These solutions need to keep costs low, while maintaining safety of paramount importance within the supply chain. Every stage of the food production process in dairies, slaughterhouses and food processing plants, require an individual effluent management process. This helps satisfy retailers that their suppliers are adhering to IPPC regulations.


The introduction of Advetec’s waste solutions is key to the reduction of daily operating costs, compliance with IPPC legislation and the establishment of a truly cost effective way to handle waste. The process of dealing with both Liquid and solid waste for a food manufacturer is a base line cost which comes straight off the bottom line profits of any company. Reductions in these costs are pure profit to any business.
