Shopping centres and food courts generate high volumes of mixed food waste throughout the day, often stored in shared, space-constrained waste areas where smells and vermin quickly become a problem for landlords and tenants alike.
The Eco-Smart Food Waste Dryer solves this at the source: it sterilises food waste overnight, cutting its volume and weight by around 80% and substantially reducing the number of wheelie bins needed. Landlords and facilities managers use it to save on disposal costs, ease pressure on busy service corridors, and keep back-of-house areas cleaner across every food outlet on site.
The Eco-Smart Food Waste Dryer is a perfect solution for food waste generated by restaurants, and other food outlets in shopping centres. Landlords and facilities managers can save up to 80% in food waste disposal costs and reduce the number of wheelie bins substantially.
Typically, the tenant will take their waste to an underground car park or waste area for the whole site. There may be a compactor or wheelie bins for different waste streams. Often, the space is tight with too many wheelie bins to manage. Food waste sits around in wheelie bins creating a smell and attracting vermin.
The Eco-Smart Food Waste Dryer sterilizes the waste overnight and reduces the volume and weight by around 80%. As a landlord you save on disposal costs and you reduce the number of wheelie bins substantially. It is a great solution.
The Eco-Smart Food Waste Dryer can cope with bio-degradable plastic (made from PLA), cutlery, coffee cups and compostable food waste bags. Tenants need to separate food waste from the general waste. The best way to do this is to provide food waste caddies with handles which can be brought to the dryer. The separation of cardboard and other recyclables from the general waste is standard practice these days. However, they may not be used to separating their food waste from the general waste. It doesn’t take long for this habit to be formed, particularly if you are providing caddies.
The Eco-Smart Food Waste Dryer is made from high specification stainless steel. All units are have locking castors so can be pushed into position. All you need is a power supply nearby and a standard sink drain (see Installation and Commissioning). It is easy to use, with simple on/off and discharge buttons and high specification RFID interlock sensors. Just load the food waste, close the lid and press the start button - the process is automatic.
