The idea of using the GS-Food Waste Digesters as a Food – compostable packaging composter, 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 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 machine.
The current testing process has already yielded positive results, with some plant-based materials successfully broken down in the Food – plastic composters. However, whether this can be expanded to encompass all compostable plant-based materials remains uncertain and necessitates further efforts and research.
The ultimate aim is to offer a diverse portfolio of materials and products. This would enable businesses to use fossil plastic-free packaging, including packaging made from materials like sugarcane pulp or banana leaves, which can be fully broken down in our composting machine.
In the future, this sustainable approach will also be available on the website, providing businesses with access to packaging materials that can be broken down in our machines. It’s a promising initiative with the potential to increase its impact on reducing food waste and promoting environmental conservation.
In most countries, it’s not allowed to put compostable packaging (PLA-PHA etcetera) into the industrial composting waste stream/ green bin (it’s only used for composting food waste and garden waste).
Most of the compostable packaging products are designed to compost in facilities like this, but still, they are not allowed to be processed in an industrial composting facility. To us, buyers of compostable packaging and end consumers this is really strange. We have searched for years to find the right bio cultures to compost all different kinds of compostable packaging – especially PLA gave us some headaches. But we finally found a solution and combined it with this amazing food digester.
The reason why most companies switch to plant-based packaging like PLA bottles, cups, and cutlery, is that they want to step away from fossil plastic. Fossil plastic creates microplastics in the environment, and microplastic creates numerous health issues for animals and humans. That’s why we are developing the Food waste + packaging composters. When this machine is finished our GS-food Waste Digester can break down all compostable packaging and bio plastic And companies can choose to step away from fossil plastic with a full solution much easier.
At GS-Food Waste Digesters, we’re proud to offer more than just waste management solutions – we’re pioneering a sustainable revolution in packaging. Our GS-Food Waste Digesters are not only capable of breaking down various plant-based packaging materials, but they also offer a multitude of environmental benefits.
By integrating plant-based packaging into our digesters, we contribute to a greener, more eco-conscious future. Here are some of the key environmental benefits:
We offer a comprehensive range of plant-based packaging materials to suit diverse needs and applications. From utensils and plates to clamshells, napkins, and cups, our selection includes a variety of eco-friendly alternatives. All our products are crafted from renewable plant sources such as sugarcane, potato starch, and paper pulp, ensuring minimal environmental impact.
Join us in embracing sustainable packaging solutions with our GS-Food Waste Digesters. Together, we can make a significant difference in reducing waste and building a more sustainable future for generations to come.
The goal is to have a full range of different plant-based materials and products that are able to breakdown in our Food – plastic composters. Below some products and materials that we are testing.
Make sure your not contaminating the inside of the food composter with fossil plastic. Let take PLA bottles as an example. Search for a provider that also has a PLA cap and label. We can help you find the right supplier for bottles, jars and cups made from plants.
Polyhydroxyalkanoaat, is a material made by micro-organism. And more and more product will be made out of this material. It’s home and marine compostable So it can also be digested in our food digester because of our special ” magic sauce”
This Starch bag is a well-seen product after the ban on fossil plastic bags in many countries all over the world. Another product that can be easily digested in our food composter. Other products that are made from starch are food Trays and salad bowls.
The use of hemp is getting more widespread in the food packaging industry. Keep in mind that the full product is made from this plant-based material. Like the coffee cups – some suppliers use fossil plastic or aluminum for the lite.
Pressed banana or bamboo leaves are a product type that getting popular since more and more countries have bans on single-use plastic plates. It’s an ideal product for our food – plastic composters.
100% non-toxic sustainable plant byproduct, like sugarcane. Mostly used for food containers and cups. Ideal as catering, food-truck, bakery, restaurant supplies, meal-prep and take-out.
