enrich360 technology is helping everyone reduce landfill by turning food waste into valuable resources.

Food waste does not disappear when we throw it in the bin. It goes to landfill, where it breaks down without oxygen and produces methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that accelerates climate change.

If your kitchen smells like something’s gone off even after you’ve taken the rubbish out, you’re not alone. For many households, the culprit is food scraps sitting in the bin. The smell builds up, especially in warm weather or when the bin doesn’t get emptied often.
