Dulsco, a waste-management solutions company, has introducted a new environment-friendly technology to help the hospitality industry dispose of waste food and organic material cost-effectively.

The company has concluded trials on its Converta, developed by the UK-based Converta Limited, which turns organic waste into solid usable bio-compost in 48-72 hours.

It contains two major chambers that treat organic waste systematically by adding natural plant extracts at regular intervals, using low amounts of electricity.

With a fully automated dosing system, bio-stimulant is injected into the Converta chambers at various points. This combines with automated temperature, controlled movement and oxygenation stimulation to enable the rapid conversion of the waste.

Prakash Parab, director of Dulsco Waste Management Services, said: “Typically, organic waste accounts for a major share of landfill material. Proper treatment and management is a challenge faced by all as untreated and unmanaged organic material creates odour, hygiene concerns and causes adverse environmental impacts.

“In our constant endeavour to introduce innovative technologies and products in our portfolio of services, we found it to be an excellent alternative waste management solution. Using this technology, the hospitality industry can treat organic waste at the source itself, thus easing the pressure on the country’s landfills.”
