WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme) welcomes its additional £10 million funding announced in today’s budget for the development of reprocessing facilities for food waste. The funding will enable new composting and anaerobic digestion facilities to be built – processing over 300,000 additional tonnes of food waste every year. It builds on our existing programmes which have been operating for over five years and will divert more waste from landfill, create more renewable energy and produce more useful agricultural products.

This funding is in addition to the £10 million to help build anaerobic digestion demonstration plants announced by Hilary Benn in his speech to the National Farmers' Union Centenary Conference on 18 February 2008.
