Peering into the future for FOG
FEA to sponsor FOG Network 2026, London, 12-13 May 2026
Getting to grips with FOG (Fats, Oils and Grease) is a major issue for everyone in the foodservice industry. How to manage it? How to ensure compliance with regulations? And how to turn it from a problem into a resource? FEA is sponsoring FOG Network 2026, which will take place on 12th and 13th May at the London Museum Docklands and focuses on sewer stewardship and resource recovery.
The event is being sponsored by Thames Water and Southern Water, and run by FEA member Eco Clarity. The event is open to everyone involved in the foodservice industry with an interest in FOG, but tickets are limited so booking is essential.
The main conference takes place on May 13th and will look at moving beyond simply trapping FOG waste as the end point and toward a fully joined-up solution. It will cover how to connect every part of the supply chain, from FOG capture and data collection through to transport, recovery and measurable outcomes. It will consider the future of FOG management – including AMP8, the water industry’s asset management plan up to 2030, and what’s needed for a greener, resilient solution. The event will combine keynote speakers, interactive workshops and insightful panel discussions.
John Cunningham is chief executive of FEA. He says, “We believe the ideal is to ensure FOG material is kept out of the sewer network and managed in a way that delivers clear environmental, operational and regulatory benefits – that’s why FOG Network 2026 is so important.”
On 12th May delegates will have the opportunity to visit the Crossness Pumping Station, one of London’s most remarkable pieces of Victorian engineering and known as ‘the Cathedral of Sewage.’ There is also a network dinner in the evening of May 12th, including ‘the ultimate FOG pub quiz’!
Tickets for the event cost from £15 to £132.72, depending on which parts of FOG Network 2026 delegates wish to attend. For information and to book tickets click here (tinyurl.com/fognetwork2026).
FEA has been working closely with the water companies for some time now to raise the FOG issue with the industry and deliver solutions. At HRC 2026 the association arranged for Southern Water’s Blockage Buster rig to be on show, next to the FEA Member’s Spotlight Zone. The rig demonstrates powerfully how blockages occur and the damage they can do to the sewer system, with practical help and advice on avoiding them. You can register for a free trade pass to come and see the rig at HRC at www.hrc.co.uk .
