How We’re Changing the Game for Food Waste Management in Multi-Unit Dwellings

Published on

Managing food waste in Australia’s growing multi-unit dwellings (MUDs) is no small feat. Traditional systems often result in contamination, inefficiencies, and excessive landfill waste. But what if there were a better way? A solution that’s practical, proven overseas, and ready to transform our urban waste management.

The Future is Decentralised

Imagine this: Instead of lugging food scraps to communal bins prone to contamination, residents process waste right at home with benchtop food waste dehydrators like the enrich360 Eco 5.

This compact, high-impact unit reduces food waste volume by up to 90%, turning scraps into nutrient-rich soil amendments that can be used in gardens and green spaces.

Why This Works:

  • Cleaner Outputs: Less contamination means waste can be repurposed, creating a resource rather than a problem.
  • Behavioural Change: Empowering residents to manage their own waste fosters accountability and sustainable habits.
  • Fewer Bins: Dehydrators dramatically shrink waste, easing strain on collection services and reducing costs.

The Impact in Numbers

For context, one 120L bin handles approximately 45 kg of food waste. Let’s break it down:

These figures highlight the transformative potential of decentralised waste management in multi-unit dwellings.

Proven Success Overseas

This isn’t just an idea—it’s proven technology. In Canada, Japan, and South Korea, decentralised food waste solutions are already cutting costs, reducing landfill dependence, and driving sustainability. By adopting similar strategies, we can revolutionise how Australians manage food waste in MUDs.

Join Us in Changing the Game

At enrich360, we’ve found a better way. Decentralised solutions like the Eco 5 empower communities to manage waste smarter, cleaner, and greener.

Together, we can create a circular economy where waste isn’t just diverted—it’s transformed into something valuable.
