How we are using technology to reduce Food Waste

Paul Whittaker

As many of our clients sit within the hospitality and retail sectors, food waste continues to be a waste stream that causes issues. Our two main objectives are to reduce a customers waste spend and to increase their recycling rates. With this in mind our first step is to always recommend segregating food waste, not only is this good practice, but it also takes weight out of the General Waste containers removing overweight charges and high container collection rates.

Once we can report the quantity of food waste to a client we can begin to offer cost saving alternatives. In many cases this has led to us recommending technology such as Food Digesters. In short, the technology allows clients to process food waste at source, the food waste is then broken down over a 24 hour period before being safely discharged through any standard sewer line. This process diverts all food waste from landfill!

There are also further added benefits to installing these machines:

  • Provides clients with data to assess portion control and supply chain management
  • No additional handling of waste including storage
  • Odour elimination
  • Pest Control
  • Transport onsite reduced due to less bin containers being required
  • Accurate ROI and environmental reporting
  • Machine uses microorganisms to break down the food naturally, so no chemicals!
  • Cost savings as we have negotiated a competitive monthly payment plan with our supplier.

The machine can be fed every hour and accurately calculates the weight and time of every feed. This enables both ourselves and our clients to monitor when and where food waste issues occur including; food type, time of disposal or which kitchen.
