EnviroPure Systems
for Organic Food Waste
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
• 1 million+ tonnes of food waste
generated every year in the UK
just from Hospitality & Food
Service sector
• Methane gas is 21 times more
damaging than CO2
• Pickup and hauling
emissions
The Food Waste Problem
The EnviroPure Solution
Organic waste represents the largest part of our refuse that currently is
still being sent to landfill. Every day, institutional and commercial kitchens
across the UK, along with supermarkets and food producers generate
thousands of tonnes of costly food waste. The economic and environmental
impact of this fact is staggering. Consider:
The ultimate solution in dealing with food waste is to reach a zero waste state
where we no longer throw away food. While we continue to work towards
that goal, EnviroPure systems offer a simple, easy to implement and economically
attractive alternative today: self-contained, small footprint, aerobic food waste
decomposition systems that eliminate food waste on-site, at the source where it
is generated.
• Methane from rotting food in landfill accounts for over 20% of all emmissions annually.
• Methane is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) that is 21 times more harmful
than CO2 to the environment.
• Roadside collection by means of large refuse trucks burn huge amounts of
fossil fuels and generate large volumes of GHG to pickup and transport our
food waste, regardless of landfill or transport to AD plants.
OPERATIONAL IMPACT
• Unpleasant odours
• Attracts pests, vermin
and insects
• Workplace sanitation
requirements
• Workplace safety concerns
• Unnecessary labour costs
• Detrimental to staff morale
• The true economic cost for the pickup, transport and disposal of this food
waste is difficult to calculate, but is currently estimated by organisations
such as WRAP, at over £2.5 billion annually across the whole of the UK.
Alternative Solutions:
COMPOSTING or BIOCONVERSION?
They are both better for the environment, however:
• They still require pickup and hauling
• There is future cost uncertainty
• They are currently heavily subsidised
Operational Efficiencies and Savings: Eliminate odours and related sanitation,
vermin and insect control requirements, as well as improve workflow and
workplace safety.
Reduced Environmental Impact: Diversion from landfill.
No potential for ground water contamination. No
methane or GHGs from pickup, transport and disposal
process.
Bottom Line Benefits: Immediate and significant savings
through reduced pickup, hauling and disposal costs.
Did You Know We’re
“Biogenic”?
According to the EPA and USCC,
carbon dioxide emissions generated
from the aerobic decomposition of
food waste by systems such as the
EnviroPure systems are considered
to be “biogenic”.
This means that our EnviroPure
Systems and the carbon it returns
to the environment are part of the
natural carbon cycle and so it does
not contribute to greenhouse gases
and global warming.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
• Total costs of food waste
generated in the HFS sector
during 2011 was estimated
£2.5 billion
• It is estimated that 17.81% of
total food purchased is wasted
• Operational and
productivity costs

EPW Technology
The EnviroPure Solution
EPW Wet Systems break down the food waste in a submersed water-base
environment producing a grey water bi-product that meets or exceeds
regulatory standards for safe disposal into municipal waste water systems.
• Hyper-accelerated food waste
decomposition system
The system uses our proprietary all-natural, biodegradable BioMixTM
additive, an organic vitamin extract (not bacteria or enzymes) to accelerate
the decomposition process. The result: complete elimination of food waste
in 24 hours. Processing capacities within the current system guidelines range
from 54kg-1360kg per day in both batch and continual feed modes.
How It Works
EnviroPure systems work through a combination of continuous
mechanical processing of the food waste, tightly controlled
environmental conditions to maintain aerobic decomposition,
and hyper-acceleration of the decomposition process through
the addition of BioMixTM additive.

EnviroPure Wet System Operation
1. LOADING of food waste
ACTIVATES CYCLE
• High pressure clean out
of filters
• Activate grinder pumps
- Grind incoming food
- Re-grind existing
food waste
- Circulate settled solids
in tank
• Cycle compressor pump
and oxygen diffuser to
ensure aerobic process
• Deactivate pumps
and grinders to allow
settling of solids for
sludge reduction
2. BioMix AUTOMATICALLY

required
3. PLC auto-controlled

De comp osition
Our EPW Wet System is simple and easy to operate:
• It has a single ON/OFF button operation
• It automatically cycles and processes food waste
as it is added
• It has both continuous and batch-feed modes
The EPW
Processing
Cycle
• There is an auto shut-off timer for remote grinder
motor and water supply
• The auto-disconnect system shuts off when the
hatch door opens or with lifter activation
Made For IC&I Customers
