INNOVATION
REMAINING RESIDUE IS COLLECTED BY THE COMPANY AND EITHER USED AS A HIGH-QUALITY COMPOST OR IS CONVERTED INTO RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY USING AN ANAEROBIC DIGESTER
Green Eco Technologies Redefining on-site commercial food waste processing Over the last two years, Australian company Green Eco Technologies Ltd has been making waves with its WasteMaster unit, which helps commercial foodservice operators drastically reduce the amount of food waste they send to landfi ll. The company develops, supplies,
and manages innovative, effi cient, and environmentally benefi cial, on- site solutions for the recycling and repurposing of organic waste as reusable resources. Its goal is to support global initiatives and action to minimize society’s environmental impact, and it is keenly focused on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs), particularly those around climate action and creating sustainable communities. The WasteMaster is a remotely monitored unit that handles commercial food waste processing from beginning to end. Without using any bacteria, additives, or water, it converts the bulk of an operation’s food waste into a virtually odor-free, much reduced quantity of reusable residual material. The principle behind the technology rests on accelerating the process of the food

waste’s decomposition by blasting it with charged oxygen molecules. Any moisture is evaporated and vented into the air, leaving a pathogen-free, high-calorifi c value, nutrient-rich residue. WasteMaster can reduce the weight of organic waste by up to 80%. The remaining residue is collected by the company and either used as a high- quality compost or is converted into renewable electricity using an anaerobic digester. The company cites as one of
its biggest successes the impact WasteMaster has had at the Four Seasons Hotel Sydney. In less than one year, more than 10 tonnes of food waste were diverted from landfi ll, and the output helped to produce enough renewable energy to power 480 homes for a day. One of the key environmental
Green Eco Technologies’ WasteMaster helps reduce the amount of food waste sent to landfill
benefi ts of the system is that it signifi cantly reduces the emissions of methane gas, which is more damaging to the environment than carbon dioxide, that are generated by rotting food waste in landfi ll. The company hopes to play a key role in helping Australia to halve the amount of food waste sent to landfi ll by 2030.
