OverviewContributors

Challenge

MAEKO’s food waste composting machines are engineered to divert resources from landfills by composting food waste at source and resolving negative impacts of food waste towards economic, environmental and societal significance. MAEKO helps reduce high haulage cost, reducing carbon foot prints, methane gas pollution from the landfills, reducing GHG emission, eliminate foul air pollution, leachate, and to minimize the continuous creation of hazardous landfills.

Description

MAEKO food waste composting machine converts food waste into bio-organic compost within 24 hours that can be used to enrich the soil, a natural resource to return to the environment. MAEKO food waste composting machine uses a patented Microbial Aerobic Compression Composting Technology with a built-in Aerobic Filtration System. This technology combines the best of both mechanical and biological functions which enables food waste to be composted in the shortest time. Our technology is scalable and flexible to be adopted as decentralized units located at each waste generating sites like hotels, school , factory etc. Our vision is to make the solution so flexible that all organic waste will be resolved at source and therefore no more food waste is being discarded into landfill rotting and generate green house gas which caused climate change. We will also develop home composter where each family is responsible to settle its own organic waste.
