We like to introduce you to a cutting-edge solution that promises to transform the way you manage food waste – the GS-Food Waste Digesters. As you navigate the challenges of food waste management, our digesters offer an innovative approach through their advanced enzymatic aerobic digestion technique.
These machines have a daily food waste processing capacity of 80 to 400 liters.
These machines have a daily food waste processing capacity of 800 to 1600 liters.
These machines have a daily food waste processing capacity of 4000 to 16000 liters.
The idea of using the GS-Food Waste Digesters 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 composting 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 our machine.
We have already achieved the ability to break down various plant-based materials in our composting machine. This includes products made from potato starch, such as cutlery, plates, and containers. Additionally, foamed PLA materials used for clamshells and trays can also be decomposed. Paper and sugarcane pulp products, such as containers and cutlery, can likewise be processed by our enzymes.
Since 2017, the owners of GS-Food Waste Digesters B.V. have been actively working to address the issue of fossil plastic in single-use packaging. To achieve this, they established GS-Green Packaging B.V. This company assists other businesses looking to transition from fossil-based packaging to alternatives such as PLA, PHA, hemp, bagasse, and other sustainable materials.
The advantage of plant-based materials is that they generally have a lower CO2 footprint, require less energy for production, and offer more environmentally-friendly end-of-life options. While fossil plastics primarily focus on recycling, plant-based packaging offers a wider range of safe disposal methods, including industrial composting, toxin-free incineration, and recycling.
Numerous products made from plant-based materials, such as bottles, films, and food packaging, are already available in the market. Many of the businesses seeking help from GS-Green Packaging were involved in food preparation, including restaurants, catering services, and food processing companies. They all aimed to work more sustainably and reduce their carbon footprint.
One common issue observed at these locations was not only the problem of fossil plastic but also food waste. Concerns like odors, pests, inconvenience, and high costs posed challenges without apparent solutions.
Upon a closer examination of the food waste problem, it became evident that the current food waste management system is outdated and environmentally burdensome. Food waste is a significant contributor to methane emissions worldwide, and maintaining the current food waste processing system consumes substantial resources. Consider that approximately 70% of food waste consists of water. This means that every garbage truck collecting food waste is filled to 70% with water, resulting in a wastage of capacity and resources for collecting solid food waste.
These observations prompted the idea that things could be done differently. The current system is no longer suitable for our times. The question arose: How can we effectively integrate food waste into the circular economy in a simple manner using existing systems? This question led to the creation of BMD (Bio Materials Digester) what is now renamed at GS-Food Waste Digesters B.V..
Why not develop a machine that breaks down food waste on-site, utilizes the water within food waste as a means of transport, and transforms 100% organic waste into biogas through the sewage system? This approach is exceptionally circular.
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.
