Commercial kitchens have traditionally taken a reactive approach to drainage issues, only addressing problems once blockages or failures occur. Moving to a proactive drainage strategy helps prevent costly disruptions, improve compliance, and maintain efficient kitchen operations.
A massive 100-tonne fatberg has been discovered in a sewer beneath Whitechapel, East London, just ahead of the busy Christmas period. The discovery highlights the growing impact of fats, oils and grease (FOG) entering drainage systems and the serious blockages they can create.
A fatberg described as the size of a blue whale has been removed from a major sewer beneath Oxford, in a complex two-week operation by Thames Water.
According to the Global Footprint Network (GFN), Earth Overshoot Day 2025 fell on 24 July 2025 — the date when humanity has used up all the biological resources that the planet can renew this year.
EPAS has unveiled its latest innovation in commercial kitchen grease management: the EPLC (EPAS Programmable Logic Computer). Now being installed in GreaseShield units, this advanced technology is set to transform how commercial kitchens manage grease interception and maintenance.

Need for Proper Waste Management It is not every day that a rock concert gets cancelled because of a blocked sewer, but that’s exactly what happened in Perth, Australia. Fans of Bryan Adams were left disappointed when his show at the RAC Arena had to be called off, not due Read more…
The increasing menace of fatbergs in urban sewer systems is a growing concern for city officials and the environment. These massive blockages, formed from fat, oil, grease (FOG), and other waste materials, can cause serious damage to drainage infrastructure and lead to costly repairs. The root of the problem often Read more…
The management of fats, oils, and grease (FOGs) has always been a challenge for industries that produce large quantities of grease waste, such as restaurants, hotels, and food processing facilities. While traditional grease traps offer basic interception of FOGs, they are often passive systems that require manual monitoring and maintenance. Read more…
On August 1, 2024, humanity marked Earth Overshoot Day—the day when we have consumed all the natural resources the planet can regenerate in a year. This event signals our continued trend of ecological overshoot, using more than what Earth can sustain. But amid the concerns, global actions and innovations hint Read more…
