If the human body can consume it, uncooked or cooked, the machine can also dispose of it.

To prevent machine damage or malfunction, it is not recommended to dispose of non-organic materials such as plastic, glass, and metal items, as well as large bones, shellfish, and leaves in the equipment. Additionally, it is advisable to limit the disposal of watery items, such as melons, as they may lead to irregular and prolonged decomposition times. To accelerate the decomposition process, consider cutting large items into smaller pieces.

Yes, it is safe to put meat and dairy products into the machine as it has a hygienization function that heats the unit up to a minimum of 70°C (160°F) for 60 minutes, killing harmful pathogens and bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Salmonella. Once the hygienization process is complete, the compost is safe to use as fertilizer.

Small sized bones such as chicken bones and fish bones can be put into the machine. However, large bones like swine bones, lamb shank bones or cow bones are not recommended. Only soft seafood shells like shrimp or prawn shells should be added. Lobster, crab, mussels or clam shells should not be added as it will not break down due to its high calcium level and can potentially cause damage to the machine.

The machines can handle a small amount of yard trimmings like grass and leaves. However, it is not recommended to add plant roots as it can wrap around the machine’s axis and blades.

For ease of operation, it is recommended to add food waste to the machine once a day, and allowing a full 24 hours before adding more food waste in.

Yes, it is recommended to replenish the Acidulo microbes on an annual basis to optimize the strength of the microbes.

Yes, certified compostable products can be put into the machine. For example, North American compostable products must display the BPI Certified logo. Please note that these products will take longer than 48 hours to compost, and the input should also be no more than 15% of the machine’s daily capacity.

On average, compost will need to be offloaded from the machine once a week when the machine is used at full capacity.

No, the Bgreen Technology proprietary microbes used in the compost machine are only active in high temperatures of 55° Celsius or higher and require oxygen to survive, so they do not pose any threat to humans.

No harm will be caused to the compost or the machine as there is no crushing or grinding during operation. However, the heat from the machine will cause plastic to deform and potentially release undesired substances into the compost. Therefore, it is recommended to strictly segregate compostable and non-compostable items to avoid such instances.

No, Bgreen Technology composters mimic the natural composting system, sped up through the use of our proprietary bacteria culture. It does not have grey water discharge or any harmful gases.

Bgreen Technology composters do not require hook up to sewer line as the steam generated from the composting process is extracted and absorbed by our deodorizers. Food waste dehydrators, on the other hand, often require sewer hook up. Additionally, the output from dehydrators has the same characteristics of dried up food waste and is not recommended to be used as soil amendment. The compost from Bgreen Technology machines is a nutrient-rich material that can be used in gardens.

Bgreen Technology composters do not require water hook up and produce a nutrient-rich material that can be used in gardens.

Bgreen Technology composters turn food waste into compost in 24 hours using our Acidulo microbes, whereas other composters on the market generally require at least 7 days and bulking agent (carbon source) such as sawdust, wood chips or paper towels for food waste to begin composting.

Most digesters use microorganisms or wood chips that require replenishing multiple times a year, whereas Bgreen Technology microbes only need to be replaced on an annual basis.

Bgreen Technology composters turn food waste into compost in 24 hours using our Acidulo microbes, whereas other composters on the market generally require at least 7 days and bulking agent (carbon source) such as sawdust, wood chips or paper towels for food waste to begin composting.

Typically, 97.3-99.9% of pathogens are eliminated when compost is heated to 62-65C for 30 minutes or longer whereas Bgreen Technology machines operate at 55-70C for 15 hours or longer. It is Bgreen Technology recommendation to run the hygienization process prior to using the compost. Please also check with your local regulations regarding compost sterilization standards.

Yes, it is safe to put meat, dairy products, small bones like chicken and fish bones, and soft seafood shells like shrimp or prawn shells into the machine. However, large bones such as swine bones, lamb shank bones, or cow bones, and hard seafood shells like lobster, crab, mussels, or clam shells should not be added.

A small amount of yard trimmings like grass and leaves can be added, but plant roots should not be included.

It is recommended to add food waste once a day, allowing a full 24 hours before adding more.

Yes, it is recommended to replenish the Bgreen’s biological catalyst need annually to optimize their strength.

Yes, certified compostable products like those with the BPI Certified logo can be added. However, the input should not be more than 15% of the machine’s daily capacity and may take longer than 48 hours to compost.

On average, compost needs to be offloaded (see user manual for more details) from the machine once a week when it is used at full capacity.

No, the biological catalyst used in the compost machine are only active in high temperatures and require oxygen to survive, posing no threat to humans. However, the product must be kept out of children and animals.

No harm will be caused to the machine or compost, if it is not a large piece, but it is recommended to avoid this as the heat may cause the plastic to deform and release unwanted substances.

No, the composters mimic the natural composting system, producing no grey water discharge or harmful gases

Bgreen Technology composters do not require hook up to sewer lines or water, produce nutrient-rich compost in 24 hours, and do not produce dried up food waste or harmful gases. Food waste dehydrators and digesters often require sewer or water hook up and have output that is not recommended for use as soil amendment.
