Food Waste - Certified Destruction of Products
When looking for a Certified Product Disposal Company, the potential legal issues involved make this process extremely important to get right. Here are some things to consider:
- Price is certainly an important factor, but not the only factor.
- Can you trust the company you’re about to work with?
- Check that the company is licensed properly and that they’re experienced in the field.
- Ask them what their plan is for your waste, and make sure they can lay one out for you.
- Ask them if they have the ability provide evidence of the entire process.
- Check that the facility has 24/7 surveillance on their storage areas.
- They should provide you with certification that the entire process has been completed.
If you can check off these boxes, then you’ve found a vendor worthy of negotiating on price. Remember, public health and safety are at stake. Don’t trust an amateur to get this job done right. Trust BioWorks Energy!
Expired Food Goods
• Accidents on the way from your facility to the distribution center can also be a major cause of headache for manufacturers.
• Picture an overturned trailer, or the highway littered with your product. Once that happens, your shipment of food is ruined and must be disposed of with assurances.
• Situations like these can result in large inventory on hand that must be managed properly.
• Management can entail isolation, treatment, destruction, and disposal. Because swift action is often necessary during recalls, U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service advise that food processing companies get in touch with a disposal company to handle product disposal in the event that it’s necessary.

Protect Your Brand
Protect the Reputation of your Products!
Over-forecasting of demand or weather related transportation issues, you may have too much of one product on your hands or in your warehouse. In order to protect your brand, destruction is more preferable than having less than fresh product hitting shelves, or worse ending up in a discount retailer eroding your brand reputation. It’s best to have these products destroyed by a reputable company with proof of destruction.

Post-Consumer Food Waste
• In addition to the food itself, paper food packaging, cardboard boxes, wax paper, dirty paper towels and other non-recyclable paper can also be digested to create energy.
• Digesters do not use incineration and therefore do not produce ash or soot.
• Biogas can be used to make electricity and with minimal treatment, used the same way traditional natural gas is for power plants, homes, vehicles and businesses.

Produce, Grain & Meat Processing Recall
Food recalls occur when there is reason to believe that a food may cause consumers to become ill. A food manufacturer or distributor initiates the recall to take foods off the market. In some situations, food recalls are requested by government agencies (USDA or FDA) when a problem is spotted in a facility inspection. Hardly a week goes by without another announced recall. According the the USDA, there were 131 incidents and close to 21 million pounds of food recalled in 2017. The primary reasons for outbreaks is as follows:
• Cross Contamination
• Pathogens
• Physical Contamination
No company in the industry from large to small is immune from an outbreak, and recovering from the sometimes devastatingly expensive recall process can be difficult, so it’s obviously best to avoid problems whenever possible
