Recommendation
The water and grease management industry must develop standards for the sectors which use FOG routinely to collect and dispose of such responsibly without it entering the drainage network. We further recommend that Ministers work with the water industry to consider whether fats, oils and greases should be classed as a trade effluent and all takeaways and food outlets required to install grease management systems.

Government Response

HM Government
Acknowledged
The Government welcomes the focus on citizen science and CaBA partnership monitoring. We encourage water companies to engage with CaBA partnerships and in some cases water companies support partnerships through funding. Even where this is not the case, we would expect that Environment Agency’s links to both the water industry and to catchment partnerships should ensure that citizen science data is taken into account in determining actions that need to be taken.
