Choosing the right system requires a careful assessment of your specific needs. Here are the key factors to consider:

• Volume of Waste: How much food waste do you generate per day or week? A small cafe might only need a 50 lb/day dehydrator, while a large hotel might require a 1,000 lb/day digester.

• Space Availability: Do you have room in your kitchen or loading dock for a piece of equipment? Dehydrators and digesters come in various sizes. Some can fit under a counter, while others require a dedicated room.

• End-Product Goals: What do you want to happen to the waste? Do you want to:

  • Eliminate it entirely? (Choose a liquefying digester)

  • Create a soil amendment? (Choose a composter or collect the biomass from a dehydrator)

  • Generate energy? (Choose an anaerobic digester)
