Depackaging of food waste

Efficient depacking of organics and unpack food solutions

The depackaging of food waste is a critical step in the sustainable processing and recycling of food products that are no longer suitable for human consumption. Food waste from supermarkets, food manufacturers, and the agri‑food industry often arrives packaged, mixed, and complex, requiring specialist treatment before it can be recycled or recovered.

Through advanced systems designed to unpack food efficiently, packaging materials are separated from the organic content, enabling each fraction to be treated responsibly and in compliance with environmental regulations.

Depacking organics for recycling and recovery

Depacking organics allows the organic fraction of food waste to be reused as a valuable resource. After depackaging, the organic material can be:

  • Used as feedstock for biogas and renewable energy production
  • Redirected to other approved valorisation pathways
  • Processed safely while maintaining full traceability

This approach significantly reduces landfill and incineration while supporting a circular economy.

Unpack food waste: suitable for liquid and solid products

unpack foodModern depackaging technologies make it possible to unpack food waste regardless of its form or packaging type. Both liquid and solid food waste can be processed, including:

  • Dairy products
  • Beverages and other liquid food waste
  • Fruit and vegetables
  • Sauces, bakery products, powders, and ready meals

Packaging materials such as plastic, cardboard, metal, and glass are separated and sent to the appropriate recycling streams.

Compliance, traceability, and peace of mind

All depackaging and processing activities are carried out in accordance with current legislation. Upon request, an official certificate of destruction or processing can be issued, providing legal assurance and transparency for audits and inspections.
