CHESTNUT RIDGE, NY – December 1, 2014 – BioHitech America, the most innovative  solution to food waste removal, is adding two more hospital systems to their list of nearly two dozen  healthcare clients. Their on-site Eco-Safe Digester was recently installed at Boston  Medical Center in Boston and Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, MA. 

“Hospitals around the country strive to reduce waste generated each day,” said Frank E. Celli,  CEO of BioHitech America. “Because the disposal of most of this waste requires specific  processes and in some cases regulation, the disposal of food waste has often times been  overlooked. However with upcoming legislation in specific cities and states, banning food waste  from landfills, food waste disposal is now becoming a priority.” 

BioHitech America’s unique solution to food waste combines green technology with the power of  big data. The company’s Eco-Safe Digester, an on-site aerobic digester, eliminates up to 2,400  pounds of food waste in a 24-hour period by converting it into nutrient-neutral water and  transporting the water safely through standard sewer lines. The BioHitech Cloud, a reliable,  manageable and secure reporting platform measures key metrics to optimize the food waste  disposal process and help eliminate food waste from the start. 

The BioHitech America is currently helping hospitals across the globe manage their food waste  in an environmentally friendly and cost efficient manner. Some of the hospital system clients  include Parkland Health, Veterans Health Administration, Broward Health, Yale New Haven Hospital, and Rabin Medical Center.  “The overall results since installing the Eco-Safe Digester have been more than we expected,  said Ken Vervoordt, Operations Manager – Food and Nutrition, Hackensack University Medical  Center. “Not only are we diverting 11 tons of food waste per month from landfills, but we have  been able to cut our waste disposal budget by 50%.”
