Nobody would deny that the priority with organic matter such as food waste, is the reduction of this surplus at source. But a hunger to consume and an even bigger willingness to carelessly dispose, results in businesses and the general public producing vast amounts of excessive food ‘scrap’ and packaging waste. Statistics evidence the scale of the problem – Brits throw away £494 million of food a week. So what role does shredding play?
This is a complex world that we know well. UNTHA’s RS40 organic waste shredder has been installed in over 50% of the UK’s food waste and anaerobic digestion plants, whilst UNTHA’s S25 has been selected as the front-end pre-treatment solution for the UK’s leading aerobic digestion solution.
We’ve also been appointed to support with the shredding of edible organic waste for reuse as animal feed, and have helped transform Category 1 International Catering Waste into a biomass product at London’s Heathrow and Gatwick airports.
We’ve developed features specifically designed to tackle the challenges associated with the commonly aggressive organic waste shredding application, including a slow running operation for consistent product quality, unique cutter and sealing system to prevent machine corrosion, plus foreign object protection to avoid unexpected damage or downtime.
Our machines won’t carry the lowest price tag, but clients will vouch for their unrivalled cost effectiveness in terms of ongoing running costs, productivity and uptime.
We know seeing is believing, so we offer free trials at our North Yorkshire HQ, enabling you to test our organic waste shredders using your own materials.

“We have carefully designed and built a number of plants to cost-effectively transform food waste into these valuable resources. UNTHA’s shredding technology forms a key part of this system. The shredders very much act as our ‘front line’ processing machines.”
