& organic waste

Services

No matter what kind of food waste you’re producing, from spoilage occurring at the growing stage of food production or point of consumption, to food waste that presents a human health-risk like listeriosis, Averda has a solution suitable for your needs.

We can even use organic waste to generate clean energy, through the process of anaerobic digestion. When organic materials decompose in the absence of oxygen they release large quantities of methane. Anaerobic digestion takes place in large tanks, which contain the odours and allow for the easy capture of the resulting gases which can then be fed into the local power grid. The solid residue left over from anaerobic digestion becomes compost and the liquid is transformed into a fertiliser which is able to improve the quality of soil for farmers and gardeners.
