Blog: Food for Thought (and Not for Landfill)

It may be tempting to think of biodigesters as being similar to processes such as composting. The truth is, however, that a biodigester provides organizations with large food preparation areas far more flexibility than composting and other options for the disposal of food waste. In this blog, we review what can and cannot go into a biodigester. 

Today, more than a third of worldwide food production is lost or wasted each year, amounting to about 1.3 billion tons of waste food. Without change, experts predict that waste may grow to as much as 70% of all food by the year 2050. Digital technology must play a central role in identifying and preventing possible avenues of food waste. It’s for this reason that we believe onsite biodigesters will play a key role in the future of food waste management. 

The SEC has unveiled a historic climate disclosure rules for companies. It would require businesses to report their (Scope 1) greenhouse gas emissions, how climate-related risks impact their business, and more.

Scope 3 emissions amount to 80% to 90% of an organization’s overall emissions, making this an excellent opportunity for action. By reducing food purchasing and mitigating off-site food waste disposal, companies can make a sizable dent in this scope 3 emissions category and their operational carbon footprint.

In this blog, we compare the cost of traditional waste management against a biodigester investment and lay bare the true cost of biodigester ownership.

In November 2021, Power Knot attended the Hamburg Maritime Forum, a two day international event in Hamburg, Germany featuring maritime industry experts across various segments. Here are three takeaways from the conference.

In this blog, we review the process of using a food scrap dehydrator and some of the pros and cons of dehydrating food scraps. With a better understanding of how food scrap dehydrators work, commercial food operations can make a more informed decision as to how to best dispose of their food waste.

The world is on fire and it is only going to get worse as global warming continues to heat up. Here are three reasons why reducing food waste is vital in combating climate change.
