Food waste is the largest component of all waste items discarded in landfills by weight. This accounts for approximately 16% of municipal solid waste, while only 2.5% of such waste is recycled nationwide.
Recycling of food waste is an urgent environmental issue that must be addressed now. Food waste decaying in landfills emits methane, a potent greenhouse gas (over 20 times worse than CO2) that contributes to climate change.
Today, food waste recycling is in its infancy. GaiaRecycle’s mission is to provide essential innovative technologies to effectively recycle food waste -- turning waste into useful resources.
GaiaRecycle products include Modular machines (200 lbs to 2 tons/day capacity), and Plant-Size systems (up to 100+ tons/day capacity), and an Anaerobic Digestion solution for producing clean, renewable energy from organic waste. GaiaRecycle is designed to efficiently process a wide variety of materials including mixed food scraps, chicken bones and liquids without causing jamming or downtime.
