Global Annual Meeting Discusses How Green Tech Is Innovating The Food Industry
BioHitech America’s European Partner Rounds Out The Presentations At The World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting

Chestnut Ridge, NY – January 29, 2015 – BioHitech America, a green technology  company that provides an innovative data-driven solution for food waste removal, is  proud to announce that its partner, GreenComm Environmental Ltd., was invited to  present the Eco-Safe Digester solution at The World Economic Forum’s Annual  Meeting, which was held January 21st through 25th in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland. 

The World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting is the world’s leading platform for  strategic insights into the future evolution of industry ecosystems and business models,  particularly in the context of scientific, technological and policy innovations. The Annual  Meeting convenes global leaders from across business, government, international  organizations, academia and civil society for strategic dialogues that map the key  transformations reshaping the world. This year’s theme, “The New Global Context”,  featured four big narratives including Society and Security, Innovation and Industry,  Crisis and Cooperation, and Growth and Stability. 

“Our green technology solution showcased during the Annual Meeting is once again  confirmation that the method of which food waste is handled impacts our society in  many different ways and that an alternative “cloud-based” solution enabling the  collection of waste data at the point of generation is a more sustainable way to address  the long term challenge of food waste disposal across the globe,” said Frank E. Celli,  Chief Executive Officer, BioHitech America. 

During the Annual Meeting, Professor Francesco de Leo, Ph.D., Executive Chairman,  Kaufmann Partners, illustrated the significance of food waste and how technology  presents new opportunities, during this presentation entitled “Why Sustainability  Matters: The challenge of reducing food waste in the world; Why a New Generation of  Green Tech Breakthroughs is Igniting a Wave of Innovation Across the Food  Distribution Industry. The presentation was co-authored by Professor de Leo and  Rupert Galliers-Pratt, Founder, Director and Principal Shareholder of GreenComm  Environmental Ltd. 

“The reduction of food waste is a key objective for regulators across Europe and for  European Companies that are engaged in the food industry,' said Rupert Galliers-Pratt.  It was important in our report to be able to describe the Eco-Safe technology as it  provides an economic solution for European Companies to process food waste on-site,  reduce carbon emissions and gather key statistical information that permits  management to reduce waste, improve hygiene and take trucks off the road. This is one  of the few sustainable technologies that does not require taxpayer subsidies to create  an environmental and economic benefit for the food industry in Europe.”
