One solution is for restaurants to deliver their food waste to an Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plant. The food waste is mixed with animal waste and turned into fertiliser for arable crops. The process also produces methane which is captured and used to create renewable electricity. I read the article, and I agree, the green movement has definitely benefited from the economic slow-down.
