Refuelling the masses from mash

FOOD waste to energy. Doesn't quite roll off the tongue and takes a little more understanding than most subjects, but it could be quite a coup for North East Lincolnshire.
EnCycle, the company that has harnessed the technology to make electricity out of past sell by date pizzas, pastas and pork chow mein, has found a home in Stallingborough.
Planning consent and environmental regulations allowing, it will be another major win for Europe's Food Town.
It will add to the list of vital services for food producers that includes: logistics, maintenance, storage, labour, cheap land and amazing access to raw materials.
Waste is an issue getting close to energy when it comes to pricing. Both have major impacts on the environment, and the balance sheets of the companies that make Grimsby great.
By getting this company here, a place where it will thrive, we are helping to secure manufacturing where labour is intensive. We don't want to lose another Bird's Eye, and this company may just help to ensure that.
A second part of this is the amazing power hub that is rapidly building up here on the Humber south bank. May it continue.
