From the current 15 tons per day processing capacity, it is planning to scale up to process 200 tons of food waste daily in three years. That, in turn, will allow the company to produce 22,000 tons of animal feed annually, 12,100 tons of sustainable aviation fuel, and reduce 3,500 tons of methane emissions.
