What northwestern Ontario communities are doing to repurpose food waste
As part of a pilot program, several municipalities in northwestern Ontario are partnering with a Canadian company to help residents get rid of their food scraps in a more sustainable and less smelly way. Food Cycle Science Corporation, based in Ottawa, makes electronic devices called FoodCyclers that grind and dehydrate food waste, reducing it by up to 90 percent of its original weight and volume in under eight hours. The device turns food waste into a dry, sterile, nutrient-rich soil amendment that can be used instead of fertilizer. Learn more about the pilot program.
