Problem
Food producers, retailers, and municipalities generate large volumes of food waste that often require costly collection, transport, and treatment, especially when the waste is contaminated and unsuitable for conventional processing methods. These logistical and compliance challenges limit waste diversion, increase emissions, and reduce the economic value that could be recovered from waste streams.
Solution
Goterra provides modular, autonomous waste processing units that can be installed directly at the source of food waste or at dedicated processing hubs. The units use AI-driven predictive maintenance and dynamic optimization to maintain a 99% uptime rate and adapt to varying waste compositions, including contaminated streams that other technologies cannot handle. Integrated operational intelligence delivers real-time Scope 3 emissions tracking, verified waste diversion data for ESG compliance, and performance benchmarking across multiple sites. By eliminating daily collection trucks, the system reduces transport costs and enables on-site conversion of waste into protein and fertilizer by‑products, creating additional revenue streams while supporting regulatory and sustainability goals.
Target Audience
Primary customers include commercial food manufacturers, large‑scale food service operators, and municipal waste management agencies seeking on‑site, data‑driven solutions for food waste diversion and ESG reporting.
