Sainsbury's has entered a partnership with ReFood to power a number of its supermarkets with sustainable biomethane gas produced using food waste. The food waste will come directly from Sainsbury's depots in Haydock and Sherburn-in-Elmet in an effort for the retail company to increase the sustainability of their stores and reduce food waste across the business. The project is part of Sainsbury’s commitment to reducing waste, which includes working closely with local authorities on recycling schemes as well as encouraging customers to recycle at home by offering free bin collections.
