The increasing focus on food waste disposal policies presents a significant challenge to the restaurant industry.

On one hand, the ongoing costs associated with waste disposal represent a steady and unavoidable operational expense. Furthermore, the storage of food waste is a pressing issue. Especially during the summer months, rising temperatures can cause rapid decomposition, unpleasant odors, and the proliferation of bacteria.

De toenemende focus op beleid voor voedselafvalverwerking vormt een aanzienlijke uitdaging voor de restaurantindustrie. Enerzijds vormen de doorlopende kosten in verband met afvalverwerking een constante en onvermijdelijke operationele kostenpost. Bovendien is de opslag van voedselafval een urgent probleem. Vooral tijdens de zomermaanden kunnen stijgende temperaturen leiden tot snelle ontbinding, onaangename geuren en de verspreiding van bacteriën. Anderzijds is gezondheid een onmiskenbare trend geworden, die diep geworteld is in de mentaliteit van consumenten. Klanten zijn steeds meer bezorgd over hoe verschillende aspecten van hun leven aansluiten bij gezondheid en duurzaamheid, een verschuiving die vooral duidelijk is in de horeca.

In the current process of globalization, food waste has emerged as a severe issue that urgently demands resolution and has captured the extensive attention of the international community. According to the statistics of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), approximately 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted globally each year, which is equivalent to around one-third of the total global food production (FAO, 2024). Food waste not only leads to a colossal loss of precious resources such as land, water, and energy consumed during food production but also exerts a profound negative impact on the environment, including land occupation due to landfill, greenhouse gas emissions, and water pollution. Simultaneously, it poses a serious threat to global food security.

If you search How does an electric composter work on Google, you will see Mr Chris Deziel 's article on the first result.

It says

First, the device heats the scraps to a temperature of about 160 degrees, which kills pathogens and weed seeds. Heating continues until the food is completely desiccated, Then it's ground up into granules. Finally, the compost cools before you remove it from the appliance.

Very clear, concise and precise! Unfortunately, this is not for a real composter, but for dehydrator devices. For the difference between a real composter and a dehydrator, check this article for detail.

Previously On GEME​

In July 2022, We launched the first generation of GEME on kickstarter. It is the first time we did the kickstarter project. We funded €30k+ in the 28 days, from 80+ backers' kindly support all over the world.

It's much lower than we expect, because the concept of turn food waste into compost, is not really new at that time. There are some other brands that already use it, but bring products that not really did the job well.
