Sustainability

Waste

With over 52,000,000 customers each year, we generate a lot of waste - as you can imagine.

That's why we have specific ways of working and have created unique procedures to cut back on our waste and ensure that nothing goes to landfill.

Recycling

Recycling

From March 31, 2025, visitors to any of our 31 Roadchef locations will see a new addition to our sites. Our new multi-waste recycling bins will make it easier than ever for our customers and colleagues to recycle their waste. . From food and liquid to plastics and cardboard, our new bins are designed with multiple compartments to simplify waste separation, ensuring materials are correctly sorted and sent to the appropriate facilities for processing and , hopefully, future reuse. This initiative enhances clarity for customers while supporting our commitment to sustainability. Our colleagues at Folkestone have implemented new units too to support our drive for greener journeys from Annandale Water to Kent - and beyond.

Nothing to Landfill

Nothing to Landfill

In 2020, we became landfill-free! All waste disposed of at all of our service areas goes to a recycling facility to be sorted. If you bin it, we'll sort it and ensure nothing goes to landfill. With your help, we have already recycled 500 tons of cardboard, 250 tons of coffee grounds and 200 tons of food.

Sustainability fact

"The UK throws away around 9.5 million tonnes of food waste in a single year."
