Waste management may not be the most exciting of areas but is an important one. At UK Grease Traps Direct we believe that environmental responsibility and awareness is an important matter for every business. We offer a range of grease traps and accessories to meet the demands of every business, with the aim of reducing build-ups and blockages in drainage systems commonly caused by the fats, oil and grease (FOG) typically associated with commercial kitchens. All kitchens will have to deal with some form of grease and fats, with quantities increasing in relation to the size of the operation and number of meals produced. Disposing of these waste products directly into the sink allows large, untreated volumes of FOG to enter the main drainage system, eventually building up into a 'fat berg' which is capable of causing major blockages. This will often have a detrimental impact on the environment and the business operation itself. Grease traps, also known as grease interceptors, provide the ideal solution to tackle these problems. Fats and grease are filtered from wastewater prior to entering the drainage system, being safely stored in the trap until cleaned out and disposed of appropriately, allowing the water to flow freely into the drain. Unfortunately, there are businesses that still fail to take this issue seriously, hence it becoming a matter of key importance for governing bodies, with a tougher stance being taken with offenders. Don't be caught out with costly cleaning bills; invest in a quality grease trap to maximise eco-friendly practices and make sure you're doing your bit for the environment.
