4 THE BIOWASTE SOLUTIONS COMPANY At Biowaste Solutions we supply a range of units to manage organic waste directly at the source. The technology enhances and accelerates the natural aerobic composting process in organic matter to revolutionise the management of biodegradable waste. Our Aerobic Bio Digester (BED) Units Designed using advanced technology and innovation, our bio digesters have revolutionised the management of all biodegradable waste including food, medical, sewerage, farm, meat and animal by-products, and green waste. Our aerobic digestor machines: Eliminating bio waste to landfills Turning bio waste to energy Production of a nitrogen rich soil conditioner Reduce your waste to landfill costs. Our bio digesters can be produced to any size, capable of handling 100kg/day and up to thousands of kilograms of waste per day using a continuous feed system. Water can also be extracted, ozonated for purification, and reused. BUNDABERG REGIONAL PROFILE Bundaberg is a large agricultural area in Queensland Large quantities of organic waste to manage from local fruit and vegetable growers, as well as green waste Council operates 12 facilities in the Bundaberg Region, seven of which are landfills The average general waste bin (green lid), contains approximately 22% of food and kitchen scraps and over 32% garden and vegetation waste. This equals about 375kg of organic household waste per household per year that could be recycled instead of going to landfill (BRC, 2018).

5 OVERVIEW OF THE RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Testing the pilot machine (C1) for several different types of waste matter in Bundaberg using quantitative and qualitative measures: o Input and out weights, photos o Machine settings o Odour o Noise o Temperature Data collection and biochemical analysis of different waste by products. Summarise the trial outcomes for three waste types using the C1 aerobic digestion machine Outline the full range of aerobic digestor machines and their potential application in the war on waste in Australia and New Zealand. BIO WASTE SOLUTIONS RESEARCH TRIAL RESULTS Using the C1 Aerobic Digester Bio Waste Solutions conducted a series of trials to process a variety of agricultural, food, paper and biosolids wastes in Bundaberg, Queensland. In collaboration with CQUniversity researchers from the Engineering and Agricultural Schools, a collaboration was established between local agricultural cooperatives and the Bundaberg Regional Council to provide a quantity of different types of organic waste for processing. Each waste type was processed using aerobic digestion over a 72-hour period Data collection included: Input waste type Input waste weight in kilograms Fibrous additive for C:N balance Water Added Temperature average during aerobic digestion Machine surface temperature Odour Output product weight Biochemical analysis of output byproduct. These waste samples indicate agricultural waste in thousands of kilograms per week from the Bundaberg region, currently sent to landfill or left onsite to decompose.

6 The following outlines each waste type with input and output results: Ginger Skins 124.8kg of ginger skins reduced 32.79kgs Chilli/Avocado Skins 178.3kg of a chili / avocado skin mix reduced to 43.9kgs Fresh Compost 170.8kg of fresh compost reduced to 61.1kgs

7 Biosolids 143kg of a biosolid / green waste mix reduced to 33.7kgs Sweet Potatoes 187.6kg of sweet potatoes and reduced it down to 60.2kgs
