| Pork knuckles from Acorn House Restaurant, potato peelings from Great Ormond Street Hospital, bacon rinds from a family home in Lambeth ... they’re all helping to grow our next loaf of bread. |

At Vertal we are world leaders in innovative recycling.
We take food waste and turn it into nutrient-rich fertilizer. We do it fast, we do it cost-effectively, and - most importantly - we do it locally.
Our first plant is just eight miles from the centre of London - the UK’s biggest producer of organic waste.
We take that waste, compost it in our state-of-the-art digestion vessels, pasteurize it, and in just 72 hours it’s being ploughed back into the soil to grow more food.
The result is a hi-tech solution to urban food waste that’s faster ... cheaper ... cleaner ... and on our doorsteps.
Making food waste go a long way ... within the M25. |

And it’s not only transport savings that we’re pushing to the max.
Our process is far and away the fastest of its kind in the world - from kitchen to crop in just 72 hours.
Our fertilizer product is rich in nutrients, so farmers can finally break their dependence on the oil industry and costly petrochemicals.
And it’s the most carbon efficient. In the next 12 months, our Mitcham plant alone will offset over 18,000 tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere. That’s the same as turning the whole of central London over to forestry ... every year.
Vertal - everybody wins.
