Contrary to popular belief, installing a food waste digester is very easy. Most LFC biodigesters can be installed in less than a day. Following these four simple steps to properly installing a food waste digester will ensure maximum longevity of the machine with minimal issues.
The LFC biodigesters saved 26,700 tonne CO2e in 2020. Customers using our biodigesters diverted 6300 tonne (14 million lb) of organic waste from the landfill in 2020. That is equivalent to driving an average passenger car in the US 106 million km (66 million miles) or the CO2e created by the energy used by 4800 homes in the US per year.
U.S. school food waste amounts to 530,000 tons each year, creating 1.9 million MTCO2e of greenhouse gases. We review the hurdles to stopping food waste, costs, preventative measures, and long term solutions in the K-12 and higher education market.

If you’re going to make a decision to divert your food waste and reduce your carbon footprint, then it makes sense to choose the option with the lowest environmental impact. Consider these six reasons anaerobic digesters aren’t necessarily the most environmentally friendly option for the disposal of food waste.
