Hotel is composting their food waste with Big Hanna since 2006

Oct 14, 2020

For 14 years our Big Hanna composter has been installed at Kelly’s Resort Hotel & Spa in Co Wexford in Ireland. This Big Hanna composter model T480 has an infeed system that automatically macerates and dewaters the food waste before it is fed into the composter. The hotel separates the food waste in the kitchen area and take the food waste bins to the composter. A bin lift empties the bins in the hopper and the food waste is fed into the composter. The compost automatically falls into the bin under the outlet.

13 years of composting at Vitsippan – a home for the elderly

Sep 29, 2020

In 2007 Vitsippan, a home for the elderly, was built in Gislaved, a town in southern part of Sweden. This Big Hanna composter model T60 was installed and have been composting the food waste from the kitchen ever since, 13 years of operation.

In this home there are 70 small apartments/rooms for the residents. The composter is installed in a separate building and all waste from the home is source separated and then taken to this waste area. The food waste is put in the Big Hanna on a daily basis and some compost comes out automatically every day into the bag on the outlet pipe. The compost is then stored on a secondary treatment between the gardening seasons before it is used as a soil amendment. 

We believe that people want to take back responsibility and fight climate change locally and are willing to do so wherever they live, work or enjoy life. This is an example of how that has been done for a long time.
