2. Food Waste Service
About the project:
GPT Waste in partnership with Sodexo Defence
delivers waste services to 11 MOD
establishments on contract.
Service improvements have been provided from
contract start and the most recent innovation
being the implementation of a food waste
service.
Each one of the establishments that produces
food waste has now been provided with a
dedicated food waste service. The estimated
volume of food waste that will be recycled is
estimated at over 200 tonnes pa.
3. Project Challenges:
The project challenges included ensuring that each site and each site
representative was aware of how and what the food waste service
provision entails and issues in regard to not contaminating the waste.
The food waste is removed and treated at an anaerobic digestion
facility – all 100% recycled so the importance of ensuring that each site
operates to the required level is paramount.
Prior to the roll out of services GPT’s partner held internal events to
promote the new service, whilst GPT provided bin signage and service
notes for each site indicating what can go in the designated bins.
The service across all sites is now in place and operational.

The GPT business model utilises both a mix of regional and national service providers, maximising
the use of Materials Recycling Facilities (MRFs) across the UK.
Our business model also allows for a quick resolution to on-site issues if they arise, whilst giving
flexibility to manage service providers within a sub-contract . This approach frees the client from
contractual constraints on matters relating to performance.
GPT can deliver against the KPI’s of any contract and manage the supplier base to achieve
operational effectiveness on all sites within said contract.
