Transforming Food Waste into Energy Treasure

Your kitchen scraps are actually an untapped luxury resource that we are criminally mishandling.

When you banish your uneaten sourdough to a landfill, it doesn't just decompose; it throws

a toxic, anaerobic tantrum. It generates methane, a greenhouse gas with twenty-five

times the warming potential of carbon dioxide, and produces leachate, a poisonous garbage

pests. But there is a sophisticated alternative called the biodigester. Think of it not
