Biowaste is more than just a disposal problem—it’s a missed opportunity. Companies generating large volumes of organic waste face soaring costs and shrinking options for management. Traditional methods not only require excessive space and resources but fail to unlock the hidden value within this waste. Worse, they contribute heavily to global carbon emissions, accelerating climate change. In an era where sustainability is essential, these outdated approaches leave businesses struggling to meet environmental goals while forfeiting valuable revenue streams.
