The task at hand

Fermentation is the most economically and ecologically viable treatment method for a range of organic waste. Clean energy is produced from the decomposed organic material and compost and liquid fertiliser from the fermentation residue. But packaging, contaminants and inert waste prevent direct introduction into the fermentation process.

By using the right shredding and separation technologies, heavily contaminated market waste and expired food can be recycled alongside bio-waste and food residues. Following successful treatment of the waste, the substrate is used in a wet fermentation process. In enclosed reactors, biogas is produced as an energy source.
