Hotels face food waste issues with multiple restaurants, catering, and high patron volume. Food waste biodigesters offer on-site solutions that break down waste into effluent for irrigation or drains, reducing methane and costs.

As Dubai has exploded in growth over the last few decades – growing its population 165 times over the course of just 70 years – its food waste has grown exponentially too. This is why organizations throughout Dubai have invested in LFC biodigesters to tackle food waste.

Organic waste management infrastructure can play a sizable role in mitigating climate change, and municipalities around the world are beginning to recognize this. Countries such as South Korea, Chile, and Indonesia are implementing rules to help enforce these world-changing solutions.

Garbage disposals are found in over half the homes in the United States, but have been banned from municipalities across Canada. We dive into why they are banned and why biodigesters are the choice food waste solution of the second largest country in the world.
