Recycling Food Waste

Every day, millions of tons of food waste (from commercial kitchen and dining room scraps) are simply bagged up and dumped in the trash bins for destination to the landfill. In the US alone, over 40% of landfill content is food waste. This food will break down and begin to emit tons of methane and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere as it slowly decomposes. Composting is an excellent way to utilize food waste but the problem is time. It takes weeks or months to properly compost food waste and it takes space and labor to correctly process this waste. Ecovim provides technology which dehydrates this food waste in hours. The reduction in volume can be as high as 90%, leaving only 10% of the original mass processed. The output product is a highly concentrated organic soil amendment which can be used asfertilizer, bio-fuel and animal feed. It will also generate water which can be reused to water plants.
