If you came across this article while searching Google for "how to reduce waste costs?" or "how to get a zero waste certificate?", you are in the right place.

When you process your organic waste at the source instead of moving it away from your door, your business's operational efficiency moves to a whole new level.

Top 5 Questions Business Owners Ask (FAQ)
We have sincerely answered the most common questions we hear from managers in the industry:
-
Does a compost machine really make a profit for the business? Absolutely. Think about your business's monthly waste transportation fees and environmental cleaning expenses. When you use a compost machine, you reduce the waste volume by 90% in just 24 hours. This means 10 trucks of trash are reduced to 1. The difference goes directly to your profit line.
-
What is the difference between a "compost feedstock (mama) machine" and a "compost fertilizer machine"? In fact, both terms refer to similar technology. The term compost feedstock machine usually emphasizes the process of rapid fermentation and volume reduction of food waste. A compost fertilizer machine explains that the output obtained at the end of this process turns into a nutritional value (soil conditioner) for your parks and gardens.
-
Will waste separation systems bring additional workload to my staff? On the contrary! It is a significant waste of time for your staff to carry leaking heavy bags for hundreds of meters and constantly disinfect the trash area. In a system that offers on-site solutions, the staff pours the waste into the machine as soon as it is produced, and the process is finished.
-
Do I need a very large space for organic compost production? No. Industrial devices produced with today's technology are compact enough to fit in a corner of your kitchen or your business's receiving area.
-
Does it help us get a Zero Waste certificate? Yes. Conducting on-site organic compost production is the most concrete evidence that earns you the highest points in Zero Waste certificate applications and ensures you successfully pass environmental audits.
Example Scenario: 30-Day Transformation of a Factory Cafeteria
Let's take a medium-sized factory that produces an average of 150 kg of kitchen waste per day.
-
Old Order: Approximately 4.5 tons of waste per month is bagged, smells, and a serious budget is allocated for the transport company to take this waste.
-
New Order: A suitable compost fertilizer machine is installed in the factory.
-
Result: At the end of 30 days, 4.5 tons of waste is processed on-site and turns into only about 450 kg of dry, odorless, and sterile material. The factory both gets rid of the shipping bill and stops buying fertilizer from outside by using this output in the garden landscaping.
