The three-year contract will aim to reduce residual waste across the sites while increasing recycling rates.
This will include directing 100% of organic waste streams to anaerobic digestion for the generation of biofuels.
Richard Barnes, group health, safety and environmental manager at Finnebrogue, said: “Doing what is right for people and planet is integral to everything we do at Finnebrogue. And our new partnership with Biffa will support our long-term commitment to sustainability.
“Together, we will focus on reducing waste, enhancing recycling rates, and contributing to a cleaner environment for future generations.
“With Biffa’s support, we will work towards two key goals. Firstly, maintaining our ‘zero waste to landfill’ commitment by recycling or recovering waste for energy. And secondly, increasing the percentage of operational waste which is recycled to 80% by 2030.
“We will also expand our waste separation programme to include office and non-production areas, empowering all employees to contribute to our Bigger Picture initiative – doing what is right for people and planet.”
Biffa said that it will appoint a contract manager to be integrated in Finnebrogue’s team.
Carole Rogan, contract manager at Biffa, commented: “Biffa Specialist Services will bring extensive experience, robust infrastructure, and a long-term commitment to this partnership.
“We are dedicated to supporting Finnebrogue on their journey towards achieving and exceeding their waste management and sustainability goals.
“Our proactive approach and deep industry knowledge will drive continuous improvement and tangible results.”
The waste management company added that it will focus on collecting data and managing compliance so that Finnebrogue can make informed decisions based on reliable waste management data.
