How Aerobic Digesters Benefit Cafeterias and Commissaries

Convert Food Waste to Gray Water Within 24 Hours

Aerobic digesters convert up to 48,400 pounds of food waste into gray water daily, reducing landfill waste and turning organic waste into a more manageable byproduct. This rapid process significantly reduces the volume of waste that needs to be hauled away, leading to immediate savings on hauling and disposal fees.

Cost Reduction and Positive Cash Flow

Investing in an aerobic digester isn’t just an eco-friendly choice; it’s a strategic move that generates long-term cash flow for grocery stores. Many stores report a positive cash flow within three years due to:

  • Lower Hauling and Disposal Costs: By processing waste onsite, stores eliminate the need for frequent waste hauling.

  • Reduced Labor Costs: Automated digestion reduces the need for manual handling of waste, allowing staff to focus on more productive tasks.

  • Reduced Landfill Fees: With less waste sent to landfills, stores save on regulatory fees associated with landfill disposal.

Sustainability and Environmental Impact

Aerobic digestion helps cafeterias and commissaries achieve their sustainability goals. By reducing methane emissions, preserving landfill space, and producing eco-friendly gray water, aerobic digesters contribute to a cleaner environment. This process also reduces waste sent to landfills, helping cafeterias and commissaries avoid landfill-related environmental damage.
