The Waste Transformers | Turn your own food-waste into value
Does your organisation produce food waste? Landfilling food waste is creating huge pressure on the environment and global warming. We bring a solution to businesses and communities who produce food waste by turning their own food waste into value on-site in a containerized anaerobic digester, monitored by us in Amsterdam. We have developed this modular system that converts your food waste into biogas and natural fertilizer on your own site. The biogas is turned into electricity and heat, feeding directly back into the building. The natural fertilizer is a sustainable replacement for artificial fertilizer, which can be used in open fields and vertical farms. With a Waste Transformer on-site you work and can report on 11 out of the 17 SDG's (Sustainable Development Goals). Ideal for locations that produce between 350kg up to 3000 kg food waste per day. We are based in Amsterdam and active on a global scale.
