Food waste is a global problem with negative humanitarian, environmental and financial effects. 30-50% of all food produced today is wasted. The Food Waste Master is a machine designed to compost and measure organic waste on site, in stores and professional kitchens. Through a unique vertical composting process, food waste is automatically turned into a natural, sanitized, dry soil amendment which can be stored without risk of mold. The machine has a web connected control system which gives information about the food waste and the composting process. Orders can be optimized and future food waste minimized, leaving only inevitable organic waste for composting. Data from units on several sites can be compiled and serve as a food waste protocol for complete organizations. The machine is an investment for both the local business and the global environment, reducing transports, optimizing orders, creating ergonomic assets in waste handling and affecting attitudes of staff and costumers.
