Eco-Ex Bin
Eco-Extractor offers a cutting-edge solution to food waste management. Our trash bin extracts nutrients from waste for 3D printing food and supplements, while composting organic matter. With advanced sensors and AI, we optimize the process to reduce environmental impact. Our user-friendly app provides supplement information and environmental impact data, allowing you to make informed choices. Join us in revolutionizing the food waste industry.
THE PROBLEM
Food Waste Needs to be Adressed Now
$230 Billion Resources Gone
from the production of wasted food squandered in natural resources, including:
25% of all freshwater used globally
28% of the world's agricultural land area
Significant amounts of energy, fertilizers, and other inputs
Food waste that ends up in landfills can also contaminate soil and water sources, harming local ecosystems.
40%
Waste
of all food produced in the United States goes uneaten & in landfills.
In landfills, this decomposing food waste produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas that is 28-36 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.
Globally, one-third of all food produced is wasted, accounting for 8-10% of total global greenhouse gas emissions.
$1500
Lost
worth of food waste is produced by the average American family of four.
Households account for 43% of all food waste in developed countries.
Strict cosmetic standards and order requirements by grocery stores and restaurants lead to significant waste.
60% of food waste occurs in homes, where consumers are unaware of the scale of the problem.
OUR SOLUTION
Combining Emerging Technologies
Enzymatic Hydrolysis
Enzymatic hydrolysis is used to break down the complex organic molecules into simpler, more extractable nutrients.y and reusability.
3D Printing for Nutrition
The extracted nutrients, minerals and elemnts are stored and can then be used to 3D print supplement pills within the bin.
Computer Vision & Advanced Sensors
Throughout the process, advanced sensors and AI monitor the system's performance to optimize nutrient extraction and minimize waste.
User Informatics
The accompanying app provides users with information on the suppliments made, nutrition facts and supplement information created from the nutrients.
