milk and cheese

have one in the staff
room! You might even
have one at home...
9. What happens to the
silver caddy food?
• It goes to a factory in
Cumbernauld
• The food is separated form the
bags in a machine
• The food is then mixed with
tiny creatures called
microorganisms who munch on
it.
• The little beasties make a bio
gas which is then used as a
renewable energy source to
power over 1000 homes.
• The food waste is also used as a
fertiliser by Scottish farmers.
