Breaking Down Organic Waste
Ever wonder what happens to all the leftovers from, well everywhere?
Mostly leftovers go into the trash and then to a landfill. Some leftovers are donated to soup kitchens (although health regulations and the issue of an employee from eith party getting the food to the non-profit make this tough to pull off). Progressive organizations have turned to composting.
Now there is a whiz-bang technology that promises, “you can throw anything in the machine that you can digest yourself.”
BioHightech debuted the GOHBio 1001 (not sure how to say that) recently. It is a high volume organic waste decomposition system – an anaerobic digestion chamber – an institutional stomach. It looks like a deep freeze.
The GOHBio 1001’s “active ingredient” are microbes which need periodic replenishment. They truly digest the organic matter and the machine spits out water that qualifies to go down an ordinary drain. The remaining waste is dramatically reduced in volume and gets cleaned out every few months.
Cost savings potential for high volume kitchens and cafeterias and manufacturing is significant.
