With so much trash produced by the food we eat, looking for sustainable ways to reuse them must always be a top priority in any organization or community. Without implementing sustainable food waste recycling methods, these will only continue piling up in landfills. Chris O'Brien has found an efficient way to address this problem that goes beyond compost: using bio-dehydration systems to turn food waste into compostable food stock. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, he talks about how their electric-powered machines at Hungry Giant Waste Systems provide innovative solutions for the handling and management of organic material. Chris explains how reducing food waste through their products can lead to healthier soil, reduce methane gas production, and make recycling much easier to do even right at your own home.Guest LinksGuest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hungry-giant-waste-systems/Guest Website: https://hungrygiantrecycling.com Guest Social: https://www.instagram.com/foodrecyclers/, https://www.facebook.com/hungrygiantwaste/ Show Notes0:00 – Introduction3:42 – The Story Behind Hungry Giant7:51 – Exploring a Bio-dehydrator11:50 – Comparisons with Compost19:44 – Applications of Recycled Food Scraps23:02 – Creating Dog Food30:12 – Decarbonization and Healthier Grasslands32:09 – Negative Aspects of Using A Biohydrator35:47 – Dissecting Hungry Giant’s Machine47:00 – Calling For More Socially Responsible Restaurants49:26 – Hungry Giant’s Role in the Modern World58:33 – ConclusionLove the show?
