Food TranSmarter

Food waste is a serious global problem, nearly 1/3 of the world's food is wasted, resulting in up to 1.3 billion tonnes of food waste every year. Recycling is often hindered by inconvenient food waste collection, high labour consumption and high cost. Therefore, most of the food waste will end up in landfills, which not only takes up valuable land resources, but also causes a lot of carbon emissions.

• Food TranSmarter can be installed at shopping malls and residential areas. It can liquefy food waste into slurry within 1-2 hours, capturing over 97% usable materials, and leaving less than 3% waste for disposal.
• The slurry will be delivered to the compact unmanned food waste recycling system. No further pre-treatment is needed for the slurry. Anaerobic digestion of food waste and production of animal feed are integrated in the system so that slurry can be 100% converted into biogas and animal feed while no waste is left for disposal.

• All kinds of food waste can be recycled and no tedious food waste separation is needed
• Food waste collection has become convenient and hygienic, and the logistics cost can be reduced by 95%
• Every tonne of food waste can generate ~300kWh renewable energy, produce 0.1 tonne fish feed and reduce 0.5 tonne carbon dioxide equivalent
• This solution makes use of distributed systems to overcome space constraint in densely populated urban cities

• Shopping malls, residential estates, business and industrial parks, university complex, individual restaurants, food factories
