Matavfallskvarnar är ett smidigt sätt att samla in matavfall på. Med nya system behöver matavfallet inte transporteras till reningsverket utan kan istället lagras i tankar för att sedan köras direkt till biogasanläggningen. Här produceras biogas av matavfallet genom rötning. Biogas är en förnybar energikälla som bland annat kan användas som fordonsbränsle, uppvärmning och elproduktion. Genom att To collect, treat and use food waste is desirable in society in order to recycle and efficiently use all resources. One stage of one of the Swedish environmental goals is to collect and treat 50 % of the food waste biologically in year 2018.
