Food Waste Treatment Service

Food Waste Treatment Service

From organic waste generated by offices to scrap produced from farms, the food industry emits millions of tons of wastes yearly. Commercial kitchens, food processing, and agricultural practices are major contributors. Landfilling and incineration are both inefficient methods of waste disposal, while also worsening the emission of greenhouse gases, contamination of soil, and water pollution. As a frontrunner in biotech powered environmental solutions, we present the food waste treatment service, which offers innovative recycling technologies able to transform food waste into organic fertilizers, renewable energy, and raw materials. Businesses are now able to implement the circular economy model while simultaneously decreasing their ecological footprint.

The food waste treatment service offers collection, transportation, processing, and valorization of organic waste from multiple food sources. Focused on commercial kitchens, hospitality voters, supermarkets, and food manufacturers, we have the capability of intricate waste streams which include spoiled raw ingredients, post-consumer food scraps, and expired packaged goods. With the application of smart logistics and biotechnology, we guarantee the maximization of resource recovery rates alongside the compliance with environmental regulations.

Technical Principles

Through the integration of three technologies, we can achieve effective waste transformation:

  • Microbial Decomposition: Under specific conditions, organic microbial consortia break down organic matter into simpler molecules. This step is focused on the conversion of food waste with high fat, salt, and mixed waste.
  • Anaerobic Digestion (AD): In oxygen-free digesters, organic waste is broken down by methanogenic bacteria that yield biogas (60-70% methane). This residue is further processed into valuable bio fertilizers with the rest of the refined nutrient digestate.
  • Aerobic Composting: For lignin-loaded waste (i.e. vegetable stalks), aerobic systems utilize thermophilic bacteria to speed decomposition which produces stable humus as a soil additive.
  • Advanced Resource Extraction: Specialized methods reintegrate oils, proteins, and bioactive substances into industrial use by extracting from certain types of wastes.

Technology Classification

Technology Input Waste Type Output Products Cycle Time
Anaerobic Digestion High-carbohydrate waste Biogas, Liquid fertilizer 15–30 days
Aerobic Composting Lignocellulosic residues Solid compost 20–45 days
Enzymatic Hydrolysis Protein/fat-rich waste Biofuels, Animal feed 6–12 hours
Insect Bioconversion Mixed organic waste Insect protein, Frass fertilizer 10–15 days

Application Areas

  • Food Manufacturing: Processing plant, Abattoir, Brewery.
  • Retail: Supermarkets and Wholesale Markets.
  • Municipal: Community food waste collection programs.
  • Agriculture: Farm level waste recycling.

Environmental Benefits

  • Carbon Reduction: ~0.5 tons of CO2 equivalent emission per polymerisation reaction using 1 ton of food waste.
  • Resource Conservation: Phosphate mining reduction by 30% due to nutrient recovery replacing synthetic fertilizers.
  • Water Protection: Eliminates risk of leachate contamination.
  • Energy Recovery: Output of biogas and electricity production is equivalent to 120-150 m3/ton waste or approximately 250 kWh of electricity.

Our Services

We provide a wide range of food waste treatment services to help our customers achieve better, faster and greener utilization of food waste. The specific services we can provide are as follows:

  • Food Waste Digesters: Our advanced digesters process food waste on-site, converting it into non-putrescible residues for safe disposal or further use. They reduce transportation costs and environmental emissions, suitable for restaurants, supermarkets, and food processing facilities, offering a convenient and hygienic way to manage food waste at the source.
  • In-vessel Composting Systems: These systems provide a controlled environment for composting food waste, accelerating decomposition to produce high-quality compost for landscaping or agriculture. They are scalable and customizable for different clients, from small commercial kitchens to large industrial food waste generators.
  • Anaerobic Fermentation: Our comprehensive solutions involve pretreatment, digestion, and post-treatment of food waste. This process reduces waste volume, generates biogas for electricity or fuel, and produces digestate for organic fertilizers. Our facilities have advanced monitoring systems for optimal performance and resource recovery.
  • Synergic Incineration: For areas with underdeveloped waste systems, this method handles food waste with municipal solid waste using existing waste-to-energy infrastructure. It reduces waste volume, converts it into energy, and minimizes environmental impacts through dewatering and oil-water separation.

Company Service Advantages

  • Tailored Solutions: Hybrid systems combining AD, composting, and extraction technologies.
  • R&D Leadership: Patented strains of Bacillus subtilis and Methanothrix enhance process efficiency.
  • Circular Partnerships: Collaborate with agricultural and energy sectors to close resource loops.
  • Regulatory Expertise: Ensure compliance with Circular Economy Package standards.

Contact Us

As global food demand rises, so does the urgency to reimagine waste as a resource. Our food waste treatment service transcends traditional disposal methods by delivering scalable, economically viable, and environmentally sound solutions. By partnering with us, businesses not only mitigate regulatory risks but also position themselves as sustainability leaders. Together, we can transform the linear "take-make-dispose" model into a regenerative cycle where nothing is wasted-only repurposed.
