Revolutionizing Waste Management: The Transformative Benefits of BMD Machines

In an era of increasing environmental concerns and a growing awareness of the urgent need for sustainable solutions, innovative technologies are emerging to address our most pressing challenges. One such groundbreaking technology is the BMD (Bio-MaterialsDigester) food digester. This remarkable invention is poised to revolutionize waste management systems and significantly contribute to a greener, more sustainable future.

Waste management has long been a complex issue, with traditional methods often falling short in terms of efficiency, environmental impact, and cost-effectiveness. However, the introduction of BMD machines promises a paradigm shift in how we approach waste disposal, offering a wide array of benefits that extend across environmental, on-location, financial, and competitive dimensions.

Food waste

Food waste can be added into the BMD machine throughout the day. There is no waiting, it is a continuous process that adapts to your daily work schedule.

The machine

All food waste is collected in the machine. The special conditions in the machine and our exclusive enzyme mixes will process your waste into waste water 24/7.

The Enzymes

Our exclusive enzyme mixes are formulated in such a way that they can optimally break down your food waste. We have developed several variations that can break down the different waste flows.

The process

The ideal conditions are created in the BMD Machine so that the enzymes can do their work optimally. Temperature, moisture, movement and acidity are maintained at optimal conditions by us.

Break down

The food waste is broken down into smaller particles. This can even be done down to the level of building blocks such as amino acids, fatty acids and simple sugars.

Waste water

The waste water created in our machine can be safely discharged via the sewer to the waste water treatment plants. The 100% organic waste water can be converted into biogas at the WWTP.

About BMD – Breaking Barriers in Food Waste Management

Unlike traditional composting machines, the BMD doesn’t yield compost as a final product. This unique approach eliminates the need for additional waste management, reducing workload and hassle. Our tailored food composter is designed to handle not only solid food waste, but also liquid products like soups and sauces. Through our enzymatic process, we break down these food products into smaller, manageable components, a feat unmatched by any other liquid food digester in the market.

Optimized Capacity for Peak Seasons

We understand the importance of having enough food waste capacity, especially during busy periods like holidays. Providing the right sized BMD machine is essential to offering reliability even during the busiest times of the year. It’s important to note that different types of food waste decompose at varying rates. Foods like dense-fiber vegetables and chicken bones require more time for breakdown. To better serve your unique needs, we require insights into your daily waste generation volume and types, particularly during peak periods.

Building blocks - simple sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids

Enzymatic Aerobic Digestion: Unveiling the Process

The BMD machine’s expertise lies in its ability to break down food waste fast and efficiently through enzymatic aerobic digestion. This process harnesses the power of our special enzymes mixes in combination with our machine and a monitored process to transform complex organic compounds into simpler components.

Enzymes, the catalysts of the natural world, take center stage in this process. Our unique enzyme mixes are specially developed for the BMD machine, and target specific organic molecules in the food waste, initiating their breakdown. Proteases tackle proteins, lipases address fats, etcetera. As a result, large, complex molecules are transformed into smaller, more manageable fragments.

Seamless Management, Remote Control

One of the key advantages of the BMD machine is its remote management feature. Employees simply need to place the food waste into the machine, and we take care of the rest. Our expert team manages the BMD machines remotely, ensuring a hassle-free experience for your staff.

Food waste facts

Methane produced in a landfill
landfill

Food waste destined for landfills accounts for 30-40% of all solid waste disposal in North America.

1000 diners on average generate 400 pounds of food waste in a typical restaurant.

100 pounds of food waste in landfills sends 8 pounds of methane into the atmosphere. Methane has 86 times the global warming effect of carbon dioxide.

The contribution of food waste emissions to global warming is almost equivalent (87%) to global road transport emissions.

Wasting food is worse than total emissions from flying (1.9%), plastic production (3.8%), and oil extraction (3.8%).

Garbage trucks use over 1.5 billion gallons of diesel fuel to cart food waste to North American landfills each year.

Green key approved product - composting machine Composteermachines – composteermachine – voedselvergister – composteer machines

Beginning of November 2022 BMD machines became Green Key-approved products. https://www.greenkey.nl/
Green Key is the largest sustainability label for the tourism and leisure industry in the Netherlands. About 700 Dutch companies have now obtained this quality mark – from hotels and restaurants to camping sites, group accommodations and bungalow parks. New locations are still being added.

Do you see the green key? Then the company finds sustainability important and they apply it everywhere in the company. Think of economical use of energy and water, environmentally friendly cleaning, recycling and well-considered choices regarding organic food and products with a sustainability label.

Transforming Food Waste into a Resource:

At the heart of the BMD revolution lies the core principle of transforming food waste into a resource rather than a burden. By harnessing controlled aerobic enzymatic degradation, this technology not only mitigates environmental impacts but also creates opportunities for energy generation through controlled biogas production at a waste water treatment plant. The rapid breakdown of food waste within 24-48 hours showcases the efficiency of BMD machines, making them a crucial tool in tackling waste management challenges head-on.

As industries, businesses, and municipalities strive to embrace sustainability, the adoption of BMD machines emerges as a beacon of hope. This innovation promises to redefine waste management practices, reduce carbon footprints, and drive financial savings. In a world where the preservation of our planet’s resources is paramount, the BMD technology stands as a shining example of human ingenuity harnessed for the greater good.

We are excited to bring the BMD machine’s transformative capabilities to your attention. With its unparalleled efficiency in food waste breakdown, ability to handle liquid waste, remote control, and data-driven insights, the BMD is set to revolutionize your waste management practices.

Our BMD+ machine (in progress)

The idea of using the BMD food digester to break down plant-based packaging is fascinating. This would be a significant step in converting more usable waste into valuable resources, such as bio-gas, while simultaneously processing the food waste associated with these packaging materials in the BMD machine. However, the execution of this idea presents some challenges, primarily due to the diversity of plant-based materials used for food packaging.

To achieve this goal, thorough research into the composition and properties of various plant-based materials is necessary. Additionally, we must find suitable enzymes to efficiently break down these materials. This is a time-consuming process that requires experiments and adjustments to the BMD machine.

Green bin or BMD machine?

This is the difference

Do you also have a green bin that looks like this? Knowing you have to wait another 4 days before the truck comes to pick up the food waste. Not even mentioning the task of cleaning the container and doing this week after week.
Let’s solve your food waste problem and create a hygienic way of getting rid of food waste. A future without the hassle of a smelly, dirty, fly-creating green bin. Welcome to the world of a BMD machine.
