August 15, 2018New Food Waste Sustainability Solution
BioSoil Farm now offers the first sustainable solution for large-scale food waste producers. Colleges, supermarkets, restaurants, hospitals, municipalities and other large-scale food waste producers require an environmentally sound and cost effective solution to manage waste. BioSoil Farm’s Managed Sustainability Program™ physically decreases the bulk and weight of food waste to save hauling, tipping and landfill fees for customers. It also ensures that they meet current and future regulations. In addition to waste reduction, the Program’s monthly fee also provides hands-on expertise to reduce the amount of waste created. The Program is the only adaptable, closed-loop solution that processes waste into useful products and keeps it out of landfills. An estimated 95% of food waste is sent to landfills where it is the largest source of methane gas – the most harmful of greenhouse gases.
New York State considers penalties for organizations not in compliance – New York State is considering joining California, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut and Rhode Island in enacting requirements and penalties to drastically reduce the amount of food waste going to landfills. New York’s landfill diversion requirement is expected to apply to supermarkets, restaurants, educational institutions, food processors, correctional facilities, hospitals, entertainment venues and sports arenas.
BioSoil Farm’s proprietary Managed Sustainability Program™ is the first solution that economically and sustainably deals with industrial scale food waste. It solves the complex issues that large food waste producers all struggle with, including storing, sorting and dealing with the odor that are part of food waste management.
“Food waste has multiple and significant negative impacts on people and the environment,” said BioSoil Farm CEO Chad Currin. “Diverting food waste from landfills reduces the need to use land as dumps and, decreases harmful methane gas. At BioSoil Farm, we make food waste into useful and sustainable products such as highly efficient and completely safe fertilizers, soils that are the best available and, high quality inputs for animal food.
