Each year billions of kilograms of food waste are sent to landfill around the planet, robbing the soil of precious nutrients which are then replaced with chemical fertilisers that reduce the taste and nutritional value of the food we eat.

In 2017, the Australian Government launched its National Food Waste Strategy. The strategy provides a framework to support collective action towards halving Australia’s food waste by 2030 and aligns with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal 12.3 on food loss and waste.

enrich360’s innovative solution directly supports this strategy and adopts the circular economy approach that underpins the model waste hierarchy. It seeks to recycle unavoidable food waste into a resource, diverting it from landfill back to the soil.

enrich360 was founded in 2015 by Bill Kollatos, a passionate Australian food industry leader who had seen first hand the growing challenge of food waste for the hospitality and food service sector.

Bill as CEO of In2food, one of Australia’s largest fresh produce distribution companies, built on strong relationships with growers and food service outlets across Australia, seized the opportunity to galvanise those partners to lead the fight against food waste.

Committing to a more sustainable future, Bill embarked on a journey to tackle the food waste problem by engaging in the circular economy – where everyone can benefit from recovering resources, reducing landfill and replenishing farmed soil with the nutrient-rich organic fertiliser.

Approved by the ACCC, enrich360 is a unique program made up of certified members who share Bill’s vision and commitment to food waste recycling and work together to turn an everyday problem into a game-changing solution.

Over 55 tonnes of food waste is diverted from landfill each year through the enrich360 program.

enrich360 reduces emissions by reducing food waste volumes by up to 93% and utilising reverse logistics, helping to positively impact climate change.

For all growing settings, the enrich360^® dehydrator product is a sterile pathogen-free fertiliser with 94% organic matter content.

The enrich360^® dehydrator generates 75l of reusable greenwater per 100kg of food waste for use within your business.

Diverting your food waste from landfill with enrich360 prevents over 2.8 tonnes of methane gas being released per tonne of food waste.

Approved by the ACCC, the enrich360 food recycling program creates a Circular Community that supports a more sustainable food industry aligned with the enrich360 standards.
