BioHiTech Global Inc., Chestnut Ridge, New York, received a purchase order from a growing West Coast specialty grocery chain to deploy BioHiTech's eco-safe digesters at nine additional California locations in order to comply with the state's newly implemented food waste disposal regulations.
California's mandatory commercial organics recycling program expanded its reach on Jan. 1, 2017, to include all businesses that generate 4 cubic yards or more of organic waste per week rather than its original 8 cubic yards. BioHiTech's commercial food waste disposal converts food waste into wastewater.
BioHiTech already has more than 25 eco-safe digesters installed throughout California. These new regulations are providing increased demand for the company's products while more businesses must divert food waste from traditional disposal options. The real-time measurement of waste generation is pinnacle in reducing overall waste generation while the efficient conversion of organic waste into a safe wastewater byproduct serves as an environmentally sound means of food waste diversion.
"We are extremely excited about the expansion of our relationship with this premier customer and happy to continue providing our eco-safe digesters as the preferred means of organic waste diversion for this growing specialty grocery chain. As we continue to focus on growing our recurring revenue steam, the further penetration into existing clients serves as testimony to the value of our products and the exciting opportunity to expand our relationships as more customers are faced with the challenge of identifying cost effective food waste diversion methods," says Frank E. Celli, BioHiTech's CEO. "We believe our proprietary system for unavoidable waste is the perfect solution to help California and other states and cities achieve their waste diversion and recycling goals in a timely manner."
