The global volume of waste food produces an estimated 3.3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent of GHG per year. That is about twice the amount of carbon emitted from the U.S.’s transportation sector.

Foodservice waste management appliances have to go through considerable research and development processes before they reach the market. Therefore we investigate how manufacturers in this sector consider a variety of relevant factors during that period.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, between 30 and 40 percent of the food supply in the United States is wasted. Hotels and restaurants are taking initiatives to battle this waste.
To reduce the organic waste load on wastewater treatment plants, many cities are actively discouraging homeowners from using in-sink waste food disposal. How does the LFC® biodigester factor into this equation? This article takes a closer look.
Power Knot’s LFC biodigester machines convert everything from banana peels to meat into environmentally safe wastewater through a chemical-free process.
Residents at the new Royal Winchester House apartment building will recycle all their waste food onsite, dramatically lowering the carbon footprint of a landmark residential development
Power Knot will be exhibiting at F-SYS 2019. See the LFC biodigester with industry-leading technology at the trade show and learn about if it is suitable for your organization.

Available in Canada and manufactured by Power Knot LLC, the LFC-70 biodigester turns between 70 and 125 kg (150 to 280 lbs) of food waste per day into drain-safe “grey” water — noiselessly, safely and odor-free.
The biodigester turns between 150-280 pounds of food waste per day into drain-safe “grey” water. Not having to store food waste until trash collection avoids attracting vermin or exposing customers to unpleasant smells.
La Moneda, one of Chile’s most prestigious government buildings, is now processing waste food onsite—diverting it from nearby landfills—to reduce carbon emissions.
[We] have been able to divert tons of post and prep food to landfills and reduce our waste weight from going to the landfill as well as our cost of waste dumped per event and non-event days.
The environment is Fujitsu’s prime concern, however most of what we do to support the environment has a long term positive impact on our bottom line. We believe the payback on the LFC-70 will be 24 months or less, due to the reduction of trash going to the landfill.
From my desk, I can see how much waste we are adding to the LFC by the hour, day, week, and month. I am driving our organization to zero waste so the weighing capability and remote reporting are important to me.
So far, 7.4 tons of food waste have been disposed. One of the biggest benefits to the staff is the LFC limits the amount of waste that must be transported out to the dumpster for landfill disposal.
The LFC has helped our operation become cleaner as well as saving the environment. We have had no problems with the machine and we are always pleased that there is no smell from the machine.
It’s the right thing to do. It does not make sense to discard the waste food on a landfill and other restaurant owners should be doing this.
EVERYBODY LOVES WINSTON ["Winston" is the name Chik'n has given to their LFC Bio-Digester in the kitchen]. . . . Winston does what he does because sending food to landfill is just plain wrong, producing methane which is 72 times worse for the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. The food we feed to Winston comes out carbon neutral so we are leaving as little footprint on the environment as we can.
We proudly design, develop, and manufacture in Silicon Valley.
