MANAGE FOOD WASTE DIRECTORY
Collection containers for food waste:

Introduction
A range of purpose specific bins are available for containment of food waste on-site either for subsequent processing on-site, or for collection and transport to a centralised processing facility.

Such bins are designed to enable less frequent food waste collection by managing risks such as the potential for pest attraction or odour generation, and potential biosecurity risks associated with the waste materials. Where less frequent collection can occur safely without causing problems this may reduce the cost of waste disposal for some businesses, and increase the potential viability of collecting food waste separately for reprocessing.

BiobiN

Functional description of the technology (what it does):
BiobiN is an aerated organic waste containment and collection bin that blows air through the contained material whilst effectively managing odour by treating exhaust gas with a biofilter. BiobiN can be used to initiate the composting process whilst awaiting collection for emptying at a centralised processing facility. A bin exchange system is used to provide a clean replacement bin when a full bin is collected.

The BiobiN has a blower unit which pushes air into distribution pipework in the base of the container to aerate the contained material, and sucks process gas from the top of the container to circulate through a condenser and biofilter. BiobiN controls odours whilst enabling less frequent collection of putrescible organic waste materials.

BiobiN requires access to a centralised processing facility that can receive and process the materials, and a lifting arrangement to collect full bins and to tip the material out of the bin at the facility for processing.

Performance benefits claimed of the technology:
— Enables food waste to be collected and stored onsite for periods from a week to 5 weeks, essentially reducing the need for frequent food waste collections/ pickups (reducing collection cost and carbon footprint);
— Effectively manages odour;
— Initiates the composting process onsite;
— Provides a solution for material that would otherwise end up in general waste;
— Provides an ethical and responsible solution to remote area waste management      (ie versus mortality pits, mining site landfills etc).
