Managing Grease Efficiently and Sustainably
Homerton College in Cambridge has invested in an award-winning dining hall that blends tradition and sustainability for up to 300 diners, receiving praise from The Guardian's architecture critic, and recognizing the need for a smart, efficient, and sustainable grease solution to complement the building's innovative design.
"At Godfrey’s we try to operate as responsibly and sustainably as we can, installing the Big Dipper means we're meeting current legislation and reducing our impact on the environment and local drains."
"Binder Limited has been dealing with Magnete now for a few years, using the Thermaco products.The requirement now to remove FOG at source has become even greater. Taking on this challenge we are grateful for the relationship we have with both companies. It has become a real pleasure growing our grease trap business with them. They consistently show a willingness to help with every project."

Fat, Oil & Grease (FOG) compliance legislation
Background
Fatbergs started as a one-off occurrence in Whitechapel, London. However, over the past 24-months it has become a regular feature. Increasing awareness of the issues has prompted both governmental and non-governmental bodies to look closer at the issue and associated building codes.Not only can blockages flood your premises, but you could also risk prosecution if your business disposes of Fat, Oil and Grease (FOG) carelessly. Protect your business and be prepared when your local water company checks for compliance.

Do you know the laws on Fat, Oil and Grease (FOG)
Legislation has been in place for a long time to ensure food premises dispose of FOG responsibly. But it has taken until now for enforcement to catch up. If your business interferes with the free flow of the sewers a prosecution can result in substantial fines or even imprisonment. So be aware of the following legislation:• Section 59 Building Act 1984• Food Safety Act 1990• Section 111 of the Water Industry Act 1991• Building Regulations: Building Regulations, DH1 section 2.21
Contact UsFood Safety Act 1990
The Food Safety Act 1990 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It is the statutory obligation to treat food intended for human consumption in a controlled and managed way.[...]
Food Safety Act 1990 - Issues caused by fats, oils and greases in the sewers and subsequent failure to comply with the Food Hygiene Regulations, could give grounds for an emergency prohibition order or prosecution.
Water Industry Act 1991
Water Industry Act 1991 (Section 111) gives the water companies the power to bring a criminal proceeding against anyone who causes injury or inhibits the free flow of the sewer network. FOG are included in this; therefore it is within their power to prosecute for FOG contamination.They also have the power to ‘recharge’; this is when they charge users of the sewer network with any costs involved in clearing blockages or resolving environmental issues due to floods as a result of blockages. These charges can be considerable.Water Companies can also work with their local government offices, specifically Environmental Health, to bring about ‘improvement orders’ and ‘prohibition orders’ to force a site to improve their practices.
