We are The Waste Transformers

Turning your food waste into value

Turn your commercial garbage disposal into positive value on-site with our innovative food waste solution. We developed an on-site containerized anaerobic digester, called a Waste Transformer. It is placed next to companies or in communities who produce food waste. Biodegradable waste, such as kitchen waste, and commercial waste is automatically turned into biogas or electricity and heat. No technical knowledge needed. The waste is turned into liquid organic fertilizer ready to replace artificial fertilizers. Different sizes recycle between 350kg - 3000kg organic waste per day.

FOOD WASTE, A GLOBAL POLLUTER

Currently, food waste is at the center of many global challenges. A reduction in food waste will have a game-changing impact on natural resource depletion and degradation, national security, and climate change. Companies and municipalities have an important role to play in setting an example and lead the reduction of organic waste recycling into value.

FOOD WASTE RECYCLING ON-SITE

Food waste is a solvable problem. We are the Waste Transformers and we want to inspire and support people around the world to understand the value of their food waste streams, so that our society can transition to a low-carbon economy. The Waste Transformers enable organic (food) waste producers to recycle their organic waste streams into clean energy, heat and natural fertilizer all on their own site, in an anaerobic digester aka, a Waste Transformer. It is a local solution for hotels, malls, food production companies, harbors and municipalities.

ORGANIC WASTE TO VALUE

Commercial garbage disposal is something which normally happens out of sight. It’s impersonal, and organic waste is a huge environmental polluter unknown to many of us. On the other hand, sustainable waste management practices are very much appreciated and supported by society and companies clients. Our technology gives organic waste producers the power to generate value from their food waste. Not only in terms of sustainability and financially, but also with respect to PR opportunities. Local communities who live around food waste producers can use the organic fertilizer and compost to grow local crops which can be consumed locally. Pressure on landfills will be reduced and companies can show a practical solution to their waste streams as one of the biggest greenhouse gas polluters we can turn around. To compare, food waste has a much larger footprint compared to polluting plastic straws. Leading by example on-site enables businesses to show their dedication to sustainable entrepreneurship.

WHY

We are on a mission to revolutionize the way we deal with waste. Why? Because organic waste is a valuable resource that should not be wasted.

Inspired by the values of the circular economy, with our installations we enable business owners to transform their waste into new products; green energy, natural fertilizer and water. We do all of this on-site, in our containerized Waste Transformers. No transport. With a healthy business case.
Trash is cash. Trash is cool.

HOW

No more need to transport waste over long distances to dump or burn it. Rather we allow you to harness your waste at the source, to power your growth. Our business models are smart, with payback times between 3 to 6 years.

Are you an organic (food)waste producer (hotel, hospital or airport) with 600 kg/day of waste and up? We have an on-site solution for you. Or, if you are from a local town council and ready to do things smarter, get in touch. We can help you turn your waste from an environmental and social burden into a driver of social cohesion.

WHAT

Household waste contains anywhere between 40 – 70% organic matter that mostly consists of dirty water. Currently, waste management consists of transporting this dirty water (waste) on dirty diesel and then either dumping it or burning it. What a waste! With an on-site anaerobic digester aka a Waste Transformer you can process your waste on site, in modular installations, the size of a couple of sea containers. Our proprietary technology® is plug and play and complies to the highest safety standards. We adjust the amount of containers to the amount of waste you have. In this way, your community, hospital, airport, farm, hotel resorts, island or shopping center all get to power their own future.
