| Name | 5L enrich360 Dehydrator |
| Model | Eco 5 Food Waste Dehydrator |
| Classification | Dehydration/Dewatering/Desiccation , Organics Processing |
Operations
| Description or Purpose | The Eco 5 is our benchtop food waste dehydrator allowing you to process organic waste in your own home, school or office, turning your food scraps into fertiliser and reducing the original mass by up to 90%. By diverting your food waste from landfill, the enrich360 units support you in turning your waste into a resource, for a circular food economy. |
| Operating Principles | The food waste input is dehydrated and reduced by up to 93% into a nutrient rich soil amendment, diverting food waste from landfill and its associated emissions. Through the dehydration process, input is heated and dried to remove moisture and eliminate harmful bacteria. The byproduct is a sterile and nutrient-rich, making it safe to handle and great for soil health. |
| Additional Information | - Fits on most bench tops - Vortech grinding technology - Less than 1.5kw per cycle - 5L capacity - Compact size - Plug and Play |

Approvals Related to Use of Output
Important Note on Composting in NSW
In NSW, applying waste to land – including a processed waste such as compost - or using it as a fuel may trigger various regulatory requirements. Depending on the proposed use you may be required to comply with a Resource Recovery Exemption or need to hold an environment protection licence, and pay the waste levy.
While there is a Compost Exemption (2014) it is important to note that drying or dehydrating food waste, or any other compostable waste, is specifically excluded from consideration under this exemption. Drying or dehydrating equipment uses externally supplied energy to heat and ventilate food waste or any other compostable waste in order to rapidly dry the waste material over a short time period (typically 24 to 48 hours), either with or without the addition of an inoculum. If you are interested in this type of equipment you should refer to the resource recovery exemptions for information on lawful use of outputs.
If it is intended to use the material as a fuel, it must comply with the NSW Energy from Waste Policy Statement. http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/waste/140056enfromwasteps.htm
