Transforming Food Waste from Environmental Challenge to
Renewable Energy Source

Food waste can be a large contributor to issues

related to solid waste management. Studies have
shown that when food waste disposals are used to
dispose of food scraps, the overall volume of
waste taken to landfills may decrease, lessening
the environmental impact of food-related waste.

A Sustainable Game
Changer for Food
Retailers and Services
Grind2Energy is more than an alternative to
landfills and traditional compost programs. This
revolutionary system utilizes the benefits of a food
waste disposer to recycle unavoidable food waste
into clean, renewable energy. With our
Grind2Energy initiative, we are helping forward-
looking businesses to realize substantial reductions
in food waste and spending. It's a big idea, and it all
starts with your facility and Grind2Energy, the food
waste recycling system from Emerson.

Put Grind2Energy to
Work in Your Facility
Commercial kitchens and food retailers produce
more than 4,000 lbs. of food waste per week. That
food waste results in costly hauling fees and a
strain on labor and resources. The Grind2Energy
food recycling system helps facilities improve
sanitation, reduce hauling fees, and increase
operational efficiency, making it the ideal solution
for grocery stores, stadiums, arenas, universities,
casinos, and hotels. Wastewater treatment plants
can also benefit by adding Grind2Energy nutrient-
rich slurry to their anaerobic digesters.

the Grind2Energy food recycling system, organics
are stored in controlled storage tanks were they
product biogas. This beneficial resource, comprised
mostly of methane and carbon dioxide, is
instrumental in creating renewable energy, natural
gas, and alternative fuel for vehicles at a much
faster rate than the decomposition of animals and
plants that make coal or oil deposits.
