03

Divert from landfill

Recovered organics go to compost, anaerobic digestion or energy recovery rather than to landfill, cutting disposal cost and waste levies.

Integrated line

Feeding, depackaging, separation and conveying supplied and integrated as one line, sized to your throughput and material.

Food Processing — FAQs

What is a food waste depackaging system?
Food waste depackaging systems separate organic material from its packaging to maximise organics recovery and minimise contamination.
What types of packaging can be separated?
Our systems can process plastic packaging, cans, cartons, pouches, bottles and mixed packaged food products.
How clean is the recovered organic fraction?
Depending on the waste stream and selected technology, our systems can achieve exceptionally high organics recovery rates suitable for anaerobic digestion and composting applications.
Does the process damage the packaging materials?
Our separation technologies are designed to recover organics without unnecessarily shredding packaging, improving downstream recycling opportunities.
Can the separated packaging be recycled?
In many applications, yes. Clean packaging materials may be suitable for further sorting and recycling.
