The Problem
Pouring untreated waste down the drain can cause many problems
The UK currently produces approximately 150,000 tonnes of FOG each year through commercial catering outlets.
This has resulted in over 100,000 drain blockages per year in the UK.
The associated costs to water companies are estimated at 15 Million pounds per year.
