CHESTNUT RIDGE, N.Y.—Rubicon Global, a leading provider of sustainable waste and recycling solutions, and BioHitech America, a leader in the development of food waste disposal technology, have teamed up to add BioHitech America’s (BHA) Eco-Safe Digester and BioHitech Cloud to Rubicon Global’s arsenal of green technological tools.
It is estimated that as much as 34 million tons of food waste are sent to landfills in the United States each year. Given the momentum of statewide policies requiring food waste recycling, the message of burying food waste in landfills being no longer a sustainable or acceptable solution is being heard loud and clear.
Rubicon Global acknowledges that ongoing food waste measurement is a vital part of understanding any waste profile in order to take the best steps to prevent it, which is the key to a successful and sustainable strategy. The BioHitech Cloud, a proprietary cloud platform hosted by Amazon, delivers valuable real-time data providing a waste profile that allows for smarter purchasing decisions, informed staffing decisions, and improved efficiencies. The ability to benchmark locations across geographies or measure the impact of seasonality will help to improve the awareness of what is wasted in order to make the necessary steps to prevent it altogether.
A Data-Driven, Network-Based Technology
The Eco-Safe Digester is a data-driven, network-based technology transforming waste into nutrient neutral water that can safely be disposed of via municipal sewer systems. “The combination of an advanced analytical tool and an efficient and effective organic waste disposal technology creates the perfect solution for our clients,” said Perry Moss, Rubicon Global’s president. “Our goal is to first eliminate the generation of waste and then process whatever residual is left in a more environmentally sound, cost effective fashion. We are one of the few companies offering our clients a true integrated solution toward the achievement of their sustainability goals.”
“We are excited to be working with Perry (Moss) and the Rubicon team to help their clients achieve their goals,” said Frank E. Celli, CEO of BioHitech America. “With over 100 years of industry experience we truly recognize the need for change and believe Rubicon is the perfect partner to work with. We continue to deploy capital toward the improvement of our digester and cloud technology with more great features coming in 2014.”
The Eco-Safe Digester and BioHitech Cloud are currently installed in Rubicon Global’s Marriott customer platform with plans of expanding the deployments nationwide in 2014. Currently, more than 15 forward-thinking corporate leaders as well as State and Federal Government agencies are utilizing BioHitech’s products and services in 36 states and seven countries.
