Currently, food waste is at the center of many global challenges. A reduction in food waste will have a game-changing impact on natural resource depletion and degradation, national security, and climate change. Companies and municipalities have an important role to play in setting an example and lead the reduction of organic waste recycling into value.

Food waste is a solvable problem. The Waste Transformers want to inspire and support people around the world to understand the value of their food waste streams, so that our society can transition to a low-carbon economy. The Waste Transformers enable organic (food) waste producers to recycle their organic waste streams into clean energy, heat and natural fertilizer all on their own site, in an anaerobic digester aka, a Waste Transformer. It is a local solution for hotels, malls, food production companies, harbors and municipalities.

Commercial garbage disposal is something which normally happens out of sight. It’s impersonal, and organic waste is a huge environmental polluter unknown to many of us. On the other hand, sustainable waste management practices are very much appreciated and supported by society and companies clients. This technology gives organic waste producers the power to generate value from their own food waste. Not only in terms of sustainability and financially, but also with respect to PR opportunities. Local communities who live around food waste producers can use the organic fertilizer and compost to grow local crops that can be consumed locally. Municipalities can replace the use of (polluting) artificial fertilizer by organic locally produced fertilizer. Pressure on landfills will be reduced and companies can show a practical solution to their waste streams as one of the biggest greenhouse gas polluters we can turn around. To compare, food waste has a much larger footprint compared to polluting plastic straws. Leading by example on-site enables businesses to show their dedication to sustainable entrepreneurship.
