The Waste Transformers | Turn your own food-waste into value

Last week The Waste Transformers was invited by Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) | Partner in Sustainable Development to speak in Cairo about the food waste situation in the Netherlands and on-site solutions for the Egyptian market. As still 56% of all waste in Egypt is organic, it is important this is treated right, allowing to create circular principles of reuse. Here is a short recap of the event. #foodwaste #anaerobicdigestion #wastemanagement #CO2

In preparation of the 1st Asian Circular Economy Hotspot in 2025 in Taiwan, we took the Director General of the Resource Circulation Administration by the Ministry of Environment @Ying-Ying Lai, First Secretary Shengyu Chen and Hui-Ling (Shadow) Chen of Circular Taiwan Network to one of our Waste Transformer biodigesters. These circular hotspot events around the world help to promote sustainable practices and foster global cooperation shared by Holland Circular Hotspot. As Taiwan has implemented a community-based recycling program since 1997, this has helped push its resource recycling rate to above 58 percent at present. A great example for other nations. Thank your Roberto Volpiano, Yan Wong and Coen Bakker for organising this site visit. #foodwaste #circulareconomy #cleanenergy #biodigester

As in many other countries, in Egypt, 56% of the total waste generated is organic waste. Last week The Waste Transformers was invited by Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) | Partner in Sustainable Development to speak in Cairo about the food waste situation in the Netherlands and on-site solutions for the Egyptian market.   The market potential for waste management and recycling in Egypt is over $5 billion annually. This presents unique opportunities to shift Egyptian thinking towards circularity and use food waste as a source of energy, biofertilizers and job creation.   Recycling of organic waste is not only an environmental imperative, it creates powerful economic opportunities, for waste management companies, municipalities and businesses. On stage, Coen Bakker provided insights into the problems solved with a Waste Transformer biodigester on-site and shed light on the costs of inaction around landfilled food waste.   The Organic Waste to Value Forum in Cairo, hosted by the Embassy of the Netherlands in Egypt and funded by RVO, served as the right platform where Egyptian and Dutch stakeholders came together. With key governmental organisations such as CLEIU وحدة الاستثمار البيئي والمناخي, the Egyptian Ministry of Environment, and the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, alongside financing partners such as AfricInvest Group and the National Bank of Egypt (NBE), NGOs, and researchers the right connections were made.   It was inspiring to speak with UNIDO Egypt on what concrete actions they take with food waste valorization and the intended use of on-site biodigesters in Egypt.   A huge thank you to the Embassy of the Netherlands in Egypt, RVO and Chemonics Egypt Consultants for bringing the right parties together and start transforming food waste into opportunities.

Food waste in the UAE remains a pressing issue, ranking among the top 5 challenges we face today. At the recent Responsible Hoteliers Summit in Dubai, The Waste Transformers took the hospitality audience on a journey through the complexities of food waste and how we can tackle this widespread problem together. As regulations tighten, the implications of poor food waste management extend beyond environmental concerns; they’re becoming a critical business issue. Hotels that fail to adapt may not only harm the planet but also jeopardize their competitive edge, as eco-conscious travellers increasingly seek sustainable accommodations. With rising energy costs and stricter regulations, those who act swiftly will not only comply, but thrive. The time to act on this daily problem is now! We were excited to share our on-site food waste biodigester that transforms food scraps into clean energy, enabling hotels to power their operations sustainably from within, reducing and measuring their CO2 reductions. Here is a short video of the well-organized event in Dubai. #foodwaste #hospitality #sustainability #techsolution #sustainabilitykiosk
